A Lobster Claw, a Bubble and a Nova
This is the "First Light" with my new QHY600C-PH CMOS-camera: A widefield between the constellations of Cepheus and Cassiopeia, showing the Bubble Nebula in the lower center.
Besides numerous star clusters and emission nebulae, the Nova "V1405 Cas" (discovered in March 2021) is still clearly visible.
Stack of 100 exposures of 5 minutes each at f/5.5 for the RGB data plus 33 frames of 10 minutes each using a 7nm H-Alpha filter.
Taken during 4 nights in August and September 2021 in rural Upper Austria with a QHY600C-PH and a Skywatcher Esprit 100 at 550mm focal length. Tracking with Skywatcher EQ6-R, Autoguiding with MGEN-3. Processed with Astro Pixel Processor, StarXTerminator and Photoshop.
