M97 Owl Scr Stack 183frames


M97 Owl Scr Stack 183frames

M97 Owl Nebula, EAA Image

8" SCT with dual reducers at F4
Player One Neptune 178 color camera
450 gain, 15 sec subs, darks, no flats

The owl nebula has been a difficult object for me to view correctly. Something always seems to go wrong trying to capture M97. I had a FWHM and brightness filter while stacking to skip times when the corrector frosted over (multiple times). This is an EAA+ image using only a fraction of the total stacked frames. Just kept on stacking (and rejecting frames) until the frost cleared ... no comment how this was handled during live stacking!!
