- Two-part Session (6.2 hours total)
a) 2019-12-23 (testing with new L-enHance dual band filter)
b) 2019-12-24 (main session operated under automated control)
- Main aims of the session was to test new dual band filter and acquire selection of deep sky targets under moonless sky - 12" LX200 + ST-10XME for imaging - TS 80mm APO + ZWO ASI178MC for guiding & imaging - Ambient Temperature: Starting at -1°C (min) before rising to +1°C by dawn
(Dew heaters on new automated control)- CCD Temperature: -20/-25°C (61%/68% av. power) - Notes from 2019-12-24 >>
| Barnard 33 , Horsehead Nebula (Orion) B33 embedded in IC 434 |
 |
| CCD Image (50% size, linear scale) taken through OptoLong L-eNhance dual-band filter (Ha, Hb/Oiii) 5 x 120s exposure (average combine), 3x3 binning, DB Filter 2019-12-24 01:26 UT (#732012-16) 12" LX200R (at f/10.4) + ST-10XME Auto-guided using TS 80mm APO, ZWO ASI178MC & PHD2 |
| Barnard 33 Stray light from Alnitak (mag +1.7), 30 arc min to north |
 |
| CCD Image (50% size) 180s exposure (single frame), 3x3 binning, C Filter 2019-12-24 01:33 UT (#732017) 12" LX200R (at f/10.4) + ST-10XME Auto-guided using TS 80mm APO, ZWO ASI178MC & PHD2 |
| Barnard 33 Detail Vertical banding to the left of Horsehead nebula could be an artifact related to the stray light from Alnitak (see image above) and the properties of the L-eNhance filter However wide field images of IC 434 show streaks in the nebulosity that extend above the Horsehead that are likely due to magnetic fields within the nebula.
