Description

I am pleased to present the cone nebula. I have found this object difficult to image, over recent  years, but with my improved equipment, I am happy with the result. I took 42 Has and 52 OIIIs, each at 4 minutes in exposure length. The 94 subs thus create an imaging time of 6 hours and 16 minutes - the weather prevented me from acquiring more. I had to come up with a number of different techniques, in order to pull out the hidden data. I am not sure I could repeat it again! Thanks everyone...
