The Cygnus Wall in mono
Details
M: Mesu 200 T: ODK10 C: QSI683 with 3nm Astrodon Ha filter 18x1800s in each pane Total exposure 36 hours |
The Cygnus Wall complex is part of the more recognisable North American nebula.
This ridge is approximately 20 light years long and is a huge star forming region. You can see where it is in a larger picture below. This is a 4 pane mosaic as the field of view was too small to fit in the Cygnus Wall itself. |
Cygnus Wall complex in Bi colour
This is a combination of the mono data above created with the ODK10 as a 4 pane mosaic and the OIII data created with the TakFSQ85 a couple of years ago.
As the OIII was only being used essentially for the colour, I knew that the actual resolution wasn't important as in the Ha layer. Details M: Mesu 200 / Avalon LInear Fast reverse T: ODK10 / Takahashi FSQ85 C: QSI683 / QSI690 with Astrodon 3nm Ha and OIII filters 72x1800s Ha 16x1800s OIII Totalling 44 hours of total exposure |
Here you can see how the Cygnus Wall complex mosaic actually fits into the larger image of the North America nebula. It gives you a great picture of the difference in field of view with my two different scopes,
