IC 1618 in Cygnus
With a CCD and a wide field scope I soon discovered that it was easy to obtain an attractive images of the nebulosity in Cygnus. I also rapidly realised that the quality and quantity of the detail I could obtain in my images depended a great deal on the subsequent image processing. This animation shows what I mean.
This image was created by median combining 12 x 300 second images, binned 2x2, taken with a Takahashi Sky 90 with SBIG ST-10MXE and a Hydrogen Alpha filter.
