DSO 遺照集 -- NGC7000

[LT]

9. M13

It is a big surprise that the very little galaxy can be captured with DSLR under a heavily light polluted night sky in YL area. Thanks to the very high transparency at that night. However, for a non-cooled DSLR, thermal noise is still a very big issue, if temperature > 20C. So, the RAW data will be deleted too, and look forward to taking this object with the same scope this year with cooled CMOS camera.

Taken with DIY 6" F4 Newtonian + MPCC + unmodified 1100D in Yuen Long, Hong Kong in 2013 @600mm F4

10. NGC5139 from PTC

If you have been to PTC for astronomy, you may know the window for imaging this GC is quite slim, depending on location of course. At that night on the 13th of April in 2015, I could only have about 30 min before it went into the very severe light pollution area.

Taken with Vixen VC200L + reducer + unmodified 6D @1280mm F6.4
6x240s @iso800, autoguided with Vixen SX2 mount

Hope I can re-visit it again this year with a 30cm Newtonian.

Below is one of the RAW FYI.

Have forgotten what reason just one frame was captured at that night. If more frames were captured, the final image should be much better. The seeing was quite good at that night.

4x245s @iso1600, autoguided with Vixen SX2 mount

Tilting issue happened when the camera was coupled onto the wide photo adapter. Moreover, just total exposure = 4x45s, very poor sn ratio. So, RAW data need to be deleted.

Taken with Vixen VC200L + reducer + unmodified 6D in 2015 in PTC @1280mm F6.4

Looking forward to seeing what the result would be if it is taken with a 30cm Newtonian

The IC object is there, though not so obvious as the image taken with 6" F4 Newtonian in YL. It shows much better.
