Barnard’s E & LDN 673 Widefield
LDN 673 (upper right quadrant) is one of those dark nebula that I often stopped to admire when surfing astroimages. I was excited to find that I could capture some of its structure at 135mm, and that it would fit nicely in the same 135mm extent with the more frequently imaged Barnard's E. This shot has been planned for awhile but took me awhile to get to.
Acquisition details: Fujifilm X-T10; Samyang 135mm f/2.0 ED UMC @ f2.0, ISO 1600; tracking with iOptron SkyTracker Pro; 36 x 60 sec; stacking with DeepSkyStacker; editing with Astro Pixel Processor; and curves adjustment/star reduction/editing with GIMP; taken on Sept. 2, 2021 under Bortle 3/4 skies.
