Description

DWB 111/119 - The Propeller Nebula.  The data was captured on 6/18/23., and is composed of about 2.5 hours (165 x 60s exposures) using the ZWO ASI2600MCPro, The RASA 8" Telescope riding on a Losmandy GM811.  The sky conditions were not optimal that night, but I was able to keep most of the data.  NOTE: THere are no H-Alpha frames in this project.

This is typically a narrowband object, but with RASA telescopes, this shows that you can shoot straight RGB Color data, and get  an enormous amount of detail in a relatively short exposure time.  I may go back next clear night to get some H-Alpha data to add in, but I'm amazed what I could do with RGB data through this rig.
