Description

NGC 6820 - Emission Nebula in Vulpecula

I am happy to finally have something to show for this object. All my past attempts have been rather disappointing as it is VERY faint, and has almost no data except for in Ha, so getting dynamic colors is very difficult without a ton of data. Luckily, I had about 13 hours that I took last year with a 6" doublet that I never got around to processing and combined that with an extra 17 hours I captured this summer with the AT106. With some PixInsight wizardry, I was able to combine these data sets with different focal lengths, orientations, focal ratios, light pollution, etc; everything was different, but PI managed to make heads and tails and combine the data! Woohoo! So here we go, 30 hours of data, taken a year apart.

AT106 + "Kong" (152 f/5.9 Achro) + ASI183MM + EQ6R Pro
