Noisy Ha Shots

Hello,

Finally got a break from moving into the new house, and took a couple of photos in Ha. There is a lot of smoke and haze from the Columbia Complex fire, so these are noisy, despite being 10 minute subs with the MX716 on the ZS80FD using WO 0.8x reducer.

My guiding was a little off, as well.

First up is IC 410.

And second is NGC 6820 (Elephant Trunk?)

Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hi Alec,I would of said they need a contrast stretch but smoke would of hurt these ....still nice though !
If we wait for perfect condition we would only get to shoot a couple of times a year so I say go for It ! smile
