Description

This image is the sum of 570 60 secs unguided subs taken on th the nights of the 14th March and 19th march 2021 with an Orion USA 250 F3.9, a QHY183M on top of a Ioptron CEM60EC. Color frames have been taken by an Acuter 90 ED, reduced at F 6.7, and a modded Canon 600d, sitting on top of the Newton.

Both nights were windy, but the night of the 19th was very windy, with wind speed over 35 knots. Most of the subs were ruined, especially the Orion/Qhy183 ones.

Results didn't meet my expectation for the bad weather condition, but also because this subject is very, very tough and weak. Aquisition was done by Astroart 7. For QHY183 subs, stacking with Astroart 7 and processing with PS. Stacking was done by DSS for Canon 600d subs.

IC 2574, also known as Coddington's Nebula, is a dwarf spiral galaxy discovered by American astronomer Edwin Foster Coddington in 1898. Located in Ursa Major, a constellation in the northern sky, it is an outlying member of the M81 Group. It is believed that 90% of its mass is in the form of dark matter. (Wikipedia)
