Tulip Nebula SH2-101 HOO
Target:SH2-101 Tulip Nebula, emission nebula, Cygnus, 6000 light years away.
Location:1 & 3 June 2022, St Helens, UK, Bortle 7. 17% Moon, windy.
Acquisition:38x 240s Ha, 36x 240s (OIII) calibrated with Darks, DarkFlats, and Flats. Total Integration 4.9 hours.
Equipment:Skywatcher 200P Newtonian, EQ6Rpro. ZWO EFW. Altair H183Mpro. Baader MPCCMkIII coma corrector, 6.5nm filters.
Guiding:Skywatcher Evoguide 50ED. Altair GPCAMAR0130M.
Software:NINA, PHD2, EQMOD.
Processing:DeepSkyStacker, Siril, Affinity Photo, StarXTerminator, Topaz DeNoiseAI.
Notes:Imaged over 2 nights and processed as HOO. The first night was Moonless, calm but very humid with high passing cloud whilst the second had 17% moon and was very windy resulting in a number of lost subs. No true darkness so imaged during nautical twilight with the (OIII) sandwiched between shorter Ha runs so the (OIII) was taken during the darkest part of the session.
