LBN 713 + 4 - LRGB

LBN 713 and 714 are both dim nebulae (6 out of a 1-6 scale where 1 is the brightest) located in Perseus. I didn’t realize this when I found them placed well in TheSkyX. I think these are the dimmest objects I’ve attempted to image – and I tried from the city. LBN 713 is just above center. LBN 714 is below center and to the west (right).

 

The line to the right of the bright star on the left is asteroid 702 Alauda.

 

Luminance – 12x600s – 120 minutes – binned 1x1

RGB – 8x300s – 40 minutes each – binned 2x2

 

240 minutes total exposure – 4 hours

 

Imaged from Dardenne Prairie, Missouri (a red zone) on October 17th, 2014 and September 20th, 2015 with a SBIG ST-8300M on an Astro-Tech AT90DT at f/6.7 603mm.

 

I did take a couple hours of Ha but there was no signal.
