Eagle M16 & Omega M17

Odotellessani pimeän laskeutumista testasin saisinko M16 ja M17 sumut vielä kaivettua matalalta horisontin tuntumasta. Viimeisen kuvan aikana Omega sumu oli vain 4 asteen korkeudessa. Jotain kuitenkin tarttui modatulla 30D kameralla ja William Optics ZenithStar66 putkella. Käytössä oli 0,8x flatteneri, mutta siitä huolimatta tähdistä tuli todella rumia reuna-alueella, vai onko kameran kenno vinossa.

NGC 7000 North America

The North American Nebula NGC7000 is an emission nebula in the Cygnus.
I photographed this on nights of 23.-25.4.2011. I wanted take "first light" of my Ir modded Canon 30D camera and test it by catch some photons of some red emission nubula. NGC7000 came first to my mind. This large nebula is covering area of almost four times of size of full moon and fit perfectly in field of view of my ZS66.
This picture could be end of this season...
