DWB111 In Ha

Hi all,

Finally got another clear night here so I shot the Propeller nebula in Ha.
Not a perfect night as it was a bit windy and the guiding on this seems to be off a little,maybe the wind or poor seeing,not sure but at this size I think it doesn't look too bad,or does it?

I was planning to shoot OIII and SII on this too but after taking a few OIII subs last night I decided not to,not much there!

Here's the image,30x600s Ha with a Meade 12" ACF OTA,ST10xme and 1200gto guided with an efinder/remote guide head combo.
Reduced to 60%

I'm debating whether I should reshoot this or not,what do you think?

Thanks for looking and your comments,

Jason

I shot 13x300s each of RGB on this too so here's a HaRGB version.
It actually came out a bit better than I thought it would after first looking at the RGB subs,they were not so great

This one is trimmed a bit around the edges and reduced to 60%

Hope the color is close to right!

Thanks for looking,your comments always welcomed.

I can see no reason to re-shoot it... the image is fantastic! I like the color version as well! I don't think the slight elongation in the stars is a problem, at least it wasn't for me.
Cheers,

Hi Jason,

Really nice image. We all see the "imperfections" in our own images - I personally am rarely entirely happy with my G-11 tracking results - it does a really good job, but not perfect. Perfect would cost quite a bit more (or perhaps much better seeing would help). I make every effort to track as well as possible but I have learned to accept a certain amount of error, especially at longer focal lengths.

cheers,

Jeff
