IC405, IC410, IC417, M38 in [SII], Ha and [OIII]

by Richard Crisp


last night I finished taking widefield images of the IC405 region.

I was using a 150mm camera lens with my ccd camera (CM10/KAF3200 sensor)

The image is a tricolor narrowband emission line image, using [SII] for Red, Halpha for Green and [OIII] for Blue

I took 5 x 20 minutes Halpha, 9 x 20 minutes [SII] and 4 x 20 minutes [OIII]. I would have liked to have more [OIII] exposure but thin clouds moved in and I had to stop after four exposures. Total exposure time was 6 hours.

After tossing together the data I was surprised that the thin [OIII] was good enough to make a decent image. So here it is:
