Description

Hello All,Attached is my latest photo of the Western Veil taken from my backyard observatory(Zefram Cochrane Observatory). The following equipment was used:
  1. Takahashi BRC 250 – The collimation is slightly off. I hope to address soon.
  2. Don Clement Bellerophon focuser with JMI Robofocus motor
  3. QHY 16200A Monochrome CCD Camera
  4. QHY OAG Guider with Lodestar x1
  5. Lumicon Ha Night Sky Filter and the Lumicon Oiii
  6. Paramount MX

 8/23 – Oiii Data8/24 – Ha DataTen Exposures were taken through each filter . Exposure time was 20 minutes. Flats, dark and bias frames were applied. I did have an issue with the Oiii data which resulted a huge reflection around the star 52 Cyg.Software used:N.I.N.A was used for the data acquisition, Scope, Mount Focus and Dome ControlPixInsight and Adobe Photoshop was used for the processing. Enjoy.
