RCW38 With ASP-C enjoy this as large as you can.

RCW 38 - do look at this full screen.


Same Telescope but very different views due to the sensor size used, also this is shot with Antlia Filters not the ZWO filters the other was shot with. RCW38 is a very small part of the Vela Region.

Gum Wide Field

RCW 38 in the shot above is lower left side you can make out the three Reddish dots next to the darker area. This was shot over 7 night to amass a total of 32 hours total time. As the was not so much oxygen in this area Blue 120 shots, I shot more Ha Red as there was far more data in that filter 200 shots and S had also a lot of data so shot 170 Red .

My next target will be interesting I will be doing a rotated shot of the blue filament which is the left over from the explosion. Look at the large round nebula top left just below that you can make out Blue filaments just to the left of the red area.

This is a very big area what you are looking at is a very tiny part. I can say I am enjoying this when I see the results far exceeded where I thought I would ever get to.

That really sums up what space is like, just shows just how small we really are. There is no end of interesting targets out there.

Many thanks I cant wait for the Milky way to rise further as more targets come to life. I am enjoying the rotation of the focuser to get the photo I want. We have it much easier as DSLR photographers space requires a little more work.
