Title: The Wizard - Kinda Freaky
Post by: Colorado_CJ on July 24, 2019, 08:58:11 pm

Another clear night means another photo. This time I shot the Wizard Nebula. This one is kinda freaky as you can see the Wizard with his hands out-stretched while he screams.

Shot for 5 hours total and edited in the Hubble Palette.

20, 300 sec H-Alpha
20, 300 sec SII
20, 300 sec OIII

Shot using the following:

Skywatcher MN190, 1000mm F5.2 Maksutov Newtonian
EQ8-R Pro
ZWO ASI183MM Pro
Skywatcher 72ED Guide Scope
ZWO ASI120 MC-S Guide Camera

I think this is incredible. I am stunned that you can shoot such stuff. I was under the obviously mistaken impression that you needed a telescope floating in space to get stuff like this

Just depends on how far back in time you want to see.....
Nice image. Very good tracking.

How many light years away The Wizard then?

The low level of noise and the clean stars are especially good here.
