Hello,

Had a bit of clear sky last night,conditions not very good with poor seeing and transperancy but thought I would make what I could out of it.This time of year it could cloud up at anytime and stay that way for a long time!

I decided to shoot Ha and chose IC410,again.I threw out 18 ten minute subs on this a few weeks ago due to poor focussad

I shot 13x600s with an Astrodon 6nm Ha filter before conditions became too poor to shoot.

Vixen VC200L
ST10xme
1200gto guided with a remote guide head and e-finder

Calibration,alignment,data rejection and combine in CCDStack.
Deconvolved in CCDStack 25 iterations.

Levels,curves,sharpening and noise removal in CS2.
I tried not to get carried away with the noise removal,hope it does not look too overprocessed.

The cluster below the Tadpoles in this image is NGC 1893.

Is it just me or do they look like they are smiling wink

Thanks for taking a look,comments and suggestions always welcome.

Jason

Thanks Guy's grin

I was pretty suprised this came out as good as it did with the poor transperancy,I am having a good time with the Ha filter.
