Description

NGC 2467 "Skull Nebula"

With the phase of the moon ruling out a lot of other targets, I took another shot at this little nebula. I added two sessions of data to past data. 

Scope: Redcat 51
Camera: ASI071MC-Cool
Filters: UV/IR cut, L'Extreme
Guide: ASIAIR Plus
Mount: AM5
Post: APP, Photoshop (StarXterminator, NoiseXterminator, AstoFlatsPro, StarSpikesPro)
Over 20 hours of 300" exposures.

Post processing: APP's auto stretch did a fine job so I only did minimal additional stretching. Created a starless version to process the nebulosity. This small nebula sits in a very intense star field so I reduced the number of stars (just kept the brighter stars).
