IC 1318 in H-alpha

Hello colleages again!

This last night was wonderful clear and after other targets ( not yet processed) I took a long awaited favorite target of myself - the Gamma Cygni area.

Only 100 min of Halpha could be taken before dawn, but as expected a nice bunch of fine details. I think, I have to do a mosaic of that area sometimes!

Wow! Excellent!

I cannot refuse looking again and again at the fine details in those little dark nebulas.

Please do a wide-field mosaic and share with us!

Hi Johannes,

Another superb image. Congratulations! Very correct technically, with excellent tonal range and resolution. Did you use the in-camera guider? If so, how much longer are the guider exposures compared to a clear filter? I am considering getting an H-alpha filter for my camera..

Best,

All these H-alpha shots never cease to amaze me... so much detail & contrast...

Beautiful shot Johannes, thanks!
