Messier
43 de Mairan's Nebula (
NGC 1982 ) This was a test image, un-calibrated and un-guided, from the new QHY163M deep sky camera. This M 43 was only 4min 39sec total exposure - 17-12-19 This is a crop from the M42 picture taken on 22-03-14. This is a crop from the M42 picture taken on 08-09-13. This M 43 image is actually just a crop from an M 42 picture. With my large DSLR sensor, it is quite a small proportion of the overall sensor size. I'll need to spend some time imaging this to get the quality high enough for a good crop. |
