Description

The border region between Cepheus and Cassiopeia hosts the Bubble nebula and several other Sharpless objects along with a Herbig-Haro object and several reflection nebula and star clusters. This image was a test image from the Eldorado Star Party in Eldorado Texas a few weeks ago. I was testing imaging with my .72 reducer/corrector and my ASI6200 camera on my 6" refractor. I hadn't used the reducer yet with this camera and found that I had my spacing about a mm too much as my corner stars were a bit elongated. I cropped most of that out. Pixel scale is 1.7"/pixel shooting with 2x2 binning. No guiding was used and the total exposure time was short. 63min of Luminance and 45min for Red, 75min for Green and Blue. I still remain impressed with the performance of the IMX455 chip.
