PhotographerGregg WaldronLocationJenny Jump State Forest, NJDate26JUL10, 27JUL10, 21AUG10, 27AUG10, 28AUG10, 30AUG10, & 31AUG10EquipmentTelescope: Orion ED80 f/7.5 Refractor with WO FF/FR V.II Mount: Sirius GEM with EQMOD Camera: Hutech Modified Canon XSi Guiding: Orion 8” f/4.9 Newtonian + Orion SSAG with PHD Filters: Astronomik EOS 12nm Clip FiltersDescriptionNGC 7000, commonly called the North America Nebula, is a huge cloud of ionized gas in the northern Milky Way. This is a false color image in which hydrogen gas is shown as red and oxygen is shown as blue. A synthetic green channel was made by combining the other two colors in order to assemble the final image. Image was processed in Photoshop CS using techniques learned from Steve Cannistra, Ken Crawford, Bob Franke, and J-P Metsavainio. Total exposure time: 18x600s (3 hours total) @ ISO 1600 for Ha + 54x600s (9 hours total) @ ISO 1600 for OIII, 30 darks, 30 bias. |

PhotographerJason CottleLocationCoyle Field, NJDate9-5-10 9:30pm estEquipmentImage is comprised of 10x480 second 800 iso sub exposures, with a spectrum/TEC modified Canon 350xt, imaging train consisted of primary optics= 80EDF, SV flattener SVFFF7-2, CLS-CCD, guide optics= Orion ST120, mounted side x side on EQ-G, PHD software with DSI camera for autoguiding, the data was dark, flat, and bias frame calibrated using MaximDL, and post processed using PS CS2DescriptionThis image shows the large area of Hydrogen Alpha emmision nebulosity, somewhat shaped like the North America continent, hence the common name of the Nebula. NGC 7000 is the official designation, and it lies just North of Deneb, the bright "head" star of the constellation Cygnus, it is part of a large area of emmision nebulosity with the commonly called "Pelican" Nebula next to it, The image also shows a nice dense starfield as it and Cygnus lie directly in the middle of the Milkyway's inside (towards Galaxy center)summer band, and the area and star cloud are visible from a dark location, with the unaided eye |
