IC1318
Object: IC1318
The Butterfly Nebula
Emission Nebula
 Const.: Cygnus
Camera: SBIG STL11000M Scope: Tele Vue NP127is Mount: Losmandy Titan
Filter(s): Hα:R:G:B Exposure: 8x8m:5x8m:4x8m:4x8m
blank
This image shows IC1318, nebulosity around Gamma Cygni, including The Butterfly Nebula in Cygnus. This image was acquired using an SBIG STL11000M CCD camera mounted on a Tele Vue NP127is. This image is composite image, using a stack of 8 eight-minute exposures taken through a Hydrogen-alpha filter as the luminance channel, and stacks of 5 and 4 eight minute exposures taken through red, green and blue filters for the color channels. The image below shows the Hα-filtered luminance channel. The images were calibrated, defect-corrected, stacked and G2V color balanced using AIP4Win Version 2. This image has been resampled down from its original size of 4008x2672.

Hydrogen-α
The Gamma Cygni Region
Object: IC1318
The Butterfly Nebula
Emission Nebula
 Const.: Cygnus
Camera: SBIG STL11000M Scope: Tele Vue NP127is Mount: Losmandy Titan
Filter(s): Hα Exposure: 8x8m
blank
This image shows part of the IC1318 emission nebula complex around Gamma Cygni in Hydrogen-alpha light. This image was acquired using an SBIG STL11000M CCD camera mounted on a Tele Vue NP127is. This image is a stack of 8 eight-minute exposures that were calibrated, defect-corrected and stacked, and then a sigmoid scaling was applied, all using AIP4Win Version 2. This image has been resampled down from its original size of 4008x2672.
 

IC1318 northern region
Object: IC1318
Northern Region
Emission Nebula
 Const.: Cygnus
Camera: SBIG
STL11000M
 Scope: Tele Vue NP101is Mount: Losmandy
Titan
Filter(s): Hα:R:G:B Exposure: 8x8.25m:7x8m:7x8m:6x8m
blank
This image shows the northern part of IC1318, nebulosity around Gamma Cygni in Cygnus. This image uses a stack of 8 eight-minute and 15 second exposures taken through an Hα filter, shown in the image below, as the luminance channel, along with stacks of 6 or 7 eight-minute exposures taken through red, green and blue filters for the color channels All exposures were acquired using an STL11000M CCD camera on a Tele Vue NP101is. The exposures were calibrated, defect-corrected, stacked and color-combined using AIP4WIN V2. This image has been resampled down from its original size of 4008x2672.
