03 - IC 5068
The image is an 8 1/2 hour narrowband exposure using a Tele Vue NP127is telescope and a QSI583wsg CCD camera on a CGE PRO mount. I took the image from Calgary Alberta. Camera control and preprocessing was done through ImagesPlus. Processing was done through PixInsight with final touch-up, as required, through Photoshop. Guiding was through PHD2 and a Lodestar camera. What I find interesting about the image is that against a background of bright nebulosity, some universal painter’s brush strokes appear to sweep wispy clouds of dark nebulosity across the view.
