last night SH2-101

Posted By ROBERT MOORE

Hi All; I have not posted in a long time so here’s one I shot last night.

This complex nebulosity (Sh2-101) is commonly known as the “Tulip Nebula”. It is located in Cygnus, about a couple of degrees southwest of NGC6888, the “Crescent Nebula”.

This area is strong in Ha and SII emissions, and is located about 2,000 light years away from us. Sh2-101 lies inside the Orion spiral arm of our galaxy, as does our own solar system.

The image is a stack of 8 x 8 min. exposures using a QSI-532 Camera, Vixen R200ss, G11mount and a 6Nm Astronomik Ha filter. Guiding was with and 80mm piggybacked on the R200 using a DSI ProII and PHD. Image was acquired and blooms removed with MaxIm, Calibration, aligning and stacking were done in AIP4WIN, that’s it.

A quick note about the QSI-532 … Man I love! this camera, the interface with MaxIm is so slick and clean you need to be careful and to slip and fall. It takes 5 clicks of the mouse and your off shooting a full set of LRGB, Open MaxIm (1), open camera window (2), connect the camera (3), turn on the cooler (4), and start shooting (5).

As I said I LOVE THIS CAMERA!!!

Hi all, here's an Image shot 2 weeks ago. It needs a lot more Ha time. to bring out the "fire works " but as it is I don't think it's to bad .... Please let me know what you all think.
