Imaging Projects
In this blog, I will share the results of all of my imaging projects. The newest will be at the top and the oldest will be further down the stack. Going back in time here is interesting - some of my early stuff was pretty rough - but I did not see it that way at the time - I was thrilled to get anything back that looked like an image! Hopefully, you will see how my work has progressed with time!
Sh2-54 - The Serpent Nebula - 8.9 Hours of SHO
Sh2-54 is an interesting HII region with some dark dust located in the constellation Sperpens Cause (The Tail). Also seen is the open cluster NGC 6604. This image is a result of 8.9 hours of SHO Data.
NGC 2359 - Thor’s Helmet in SHO ~only 2.5 hours!
NGC 2359 - Thor’s Helmet - is my first image of 2022. This image is the result of 2.5 hours of narrowband data - limited by weather and the fact that this target is very low in the sky for me and access is very limited each night due to trees on my property. I had hoped to gather more data but at this point, it is now too late in the year. So my challenge was to see what I could do with such limited data. detailed processing strategy and log provided!
