NGC 896, the Fishhead Nebula (also IC 1795) (Nov. 2019)

11x1800" with the SXVF-H9 through the Synta-ONTC Newtonian telescope at f/4.95, Astronomik 6nm Ha filter, Baader MPCC (II). 

IC 1795 (Nov. 2014)

This area is up early in the evening now and sets for me behind the trees around 1 am.  This set of frames included one night of excellent seeing and one that was very poor.

Camera and Exposure: SXVF-H9, Ha 21x1200" (6nm), Alnitak Flat-man flats

IC 1795 (Nov. 3, 2011)

This striking cloud of hydrogen lies in the eastern part of the constellation Cassiopeia and is part of a much larger nebula also known as IC 1805 or the Heart Nebula. This image is primarily glowing hydrogen and perhaps nitrogen.  It was taken through a filter that records only those wavelengths.  I hope to back for the glowing oxygen next week.

Telescope: Orion 120ST f/5 Achromat w/WO ff/fr 0.8 II (so effectively at f/4)
