NGC 457

NGC 457 was created by Wouter van Reeven

Last night I took 34 images of 3 minutes each of NGC 457. The equipment used was a William Optics ZS 71 with a modded Canon EOS 700D yielding a FOV of 3 x 2 degrees. This all was mounted on a modded HEQ5-Pro. Polar alignment, slewing, guiding and imaging all was done with Ekos. Processing of 28 imnages (the first 6 have a too bright background due to dusk) was done in Astro Pixel Processor, post-processing in PixInsight.


Clear skies, Wouter

Oh yes, the owl cluster, otherwise known as ET due to the glowing finger!

To some people it appears as a jet plane, with the two bright stars the jet engines.
