Description

Here is another attempt I made at shooting the Horshead Nebula while testing my ASIAIR Pro from home on my back porch. My yard is light polluted around a Mag 20.4. I was still pleased to see how much data I could gather with no narrow band filters used. It appears there is even some OIII accumulating in the signal above the horse? Im having trouble verifying that.

To shoot this Image I used the Sharpstar 76 EDPH reduced to F4.5 at a focal length of 342mm

The total integration time is 7 hours and 28 minutes

And took 2 nights to complete

7x60s

7x120s

42x600s

All shot at gain 100 on the ASI2600MC
