NGC281 w/AT8IN
      #3400067 - 10/20/09 12:07 PM Attachment (26 downloads)

Here's another from last night, NGC281. I used an AT8IN
with the paracorr at F/4.6 and modded Canon XS at ISO1600.
6x8m exposures, cropped and reduced in size.

Those little pillars on the left are very 3D , excellent shot and processing.

Very good results with lots of detail. Impressive being only 48min of exposure!

The Lumicon Deek Sky filter has a full pass on H-Alpha with
a strong cutoff above it. I'm happy with what I've seen of
it so far. The extra contrast it provides really helps.

Nice work, excellent contrast between the background and nebula.
