NGC281 in Ha

Hi,

I had a nice run of pretty good skies over the last week,unfortunately they coincided with a nearly full moon,Oh well,I'll take em when I can get em!

I shot RGB for this too but have not had much luck getting it looking good yet so for now here is the Ha.

I stretched it pretty hard trying to show as much nebulosity as possible,hope I didn't push it too hard,let me know if I did!

Taken with my TMB115@F7,ST10xme and 1200gto.

Thanks for looking,

Jason

Looks like a good stretch to me. Lots of stars, uniform background, and the nebula goes way out. So how much time is here?

Hi Jason,

I think the image looks great, not over-stretched at all. §In fact, it seems to me that it is just the right amount.

Congrats!

Looks like you stretched it just right, Jason! Nice job! Your mount must have laughed at the load

I don't think it's pushed too hard, Jason. Although there is some faint nebulosity around the PacMan, the drop off in illumination from IC1590, the open cluster, is abrupt.
I think that you could increase the contrast in your image a bit. Other than that, it's a fine image.
