Here is my version of IC2118 captured from my B4 backyard. I used the SQA55 and 2600MC Pro. No filter other than the built in UVIR cut.
I am interested in any critiques especially from IOTD reviewer’s.
IC2118 The Witch Head nebula
I am strictly a hobbyist, but I think others would agree that this is quite an impressive image. I am going to try this very target tonight in my B6-7 backyard. Right now, I am thinking of framing the witch head with Rigel at the opposite side of the frame. It might be a big mistake, but I do not expect much from my backyard anyway.
Cheers,
