[LittleMan]

beautiful!
I've seen that a lot of times through the telescope. I've never been able to get a pic of it though.. haha

 

[Randog]

AWESOME. Wow! I too did not think you could get that without a telescope.

Great capture LWW! :thumbup:


We've been watching this in Cygnus (Northern Cross) and the "Coathanger Nebula" for the past month now and I'm still waiting for my 2 films to come back from processing! (Long story not yet concluded! )

Have you managed to capture this without the H-Alpha filter and with any colour?

 

[LWW]

This was done about 10 yrs back. I'm just now digitizing my stuff.

If I remember right that was a 30 and maybe even a 60 minute eq mot clock drive exposure on 3200 spd Kodak.

It doesn't look like that through the viewfinder. Very faint.

I haven't no.

I also haven't done a ton of astrophotography.

I have tried Fuji 1600 color but it gets very grainy. 3200 BW seems to work better for me. Partly I'm sure because I develop it myself.

These type of pictures fascinate me to no end, I am surprised the nebula came out so large with a 300mm lens. Glad you posted this capture. Good job
