IC 1848 "Soul":
Monochrome Hydrogen-alpha (false
color)
IC 1848 "Soul" or perhaps as I see it "Fetus" or "Buffalo" nebula in Cassiopeia. This is a red emission nebula shot in monochrome through a Hydrogen-alpha filter and then colorized in Phtoshop. This is a joint project of James Foster and Michael Stecker. file: IC1848JRF10NewtHA-300sX15-MAScolorize1.jpg Photographic Data telescope: Sky-Watcher Quattro 250P (10-inch f/4 Newtonian telescope with coma corrector) FL 1,000 mm mount: Astro-Physics 1200 GTO
Guiding hardware:
SVBony 60 mm f/4 guidescope (fl=240 mm) Guide Camera: ZWO ASI120MM mini imaging camera: ZWO ASI6200MM monochrome shot with Hydrogen-alpha filter exposure: 300 seconds X 15 (75-minutes or 1 hr, 15 min) throug a Hydrogen-alpha filter
