Description

Testing my one shot color (OSC) planetary imaging camera for capturing a somewhat faint DSO (magnitude 8.7, Dimension 9.1'x7.1'). Imaging was done from a fairly light polluted site (Bortle Scale 7 approximately). The image is arguably at the lowest end of cost-complexity spectrum. For some perspective on what the imaging brings at the high end, ESO's 8.2 m VL Telescope acquisition is linked here. Quality difference between the images is unsurprisingly stark. However it's interesting to see that computer assisted imaging, even at the lowest end, can expose faintly lit objects almost accurately.
