Hydrogen-α
Object: IC1318 Northern Region	Emission Nebula	Const.: Cygnus
Camera: SBIG STL11000M	Scope: Tele Vue NP101is	Mount: Losmandy Titan
Filter(s): Hα	Exposure: 8x8.25m	blank
This image shows the northern part of IC1318, nebulosity around Gamma Cygni in Cygnus. This image is a stack of 8 eight-minute and 15 second exposures taken through an Hα filter, using an STL11000M CCD camera on a Tele Vue NP101is. The exposures were calibrated, defect-corrected and stacked using AIP4WIN V2. This image has been resampled down from its original size of 4008x2672.

 

Hydrogen-α
Object: IC1318 The Butterfly Nebula	Emission Nebula	Const.: Cygnus
Camera: SBIG STL11000M	Scope: Tele Vue TV-102iis	Mount: Losmandy Titan
Filter(s): Hα	Exposure: 8x8m	0.8x Reducer-Corrector
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 TV-102iis with a 0.8x reducer-corrector. This image is a stack of 8 eight-minute exposures taken through a Hydrogen-alpha filter. The images were calibrated, defect-corrected and stacked using AIP4Win Version 2. This image has been resampled down from its original size of 4008x2672.

 

Hydrogen-α
Object: IC1318 The Butterfly Nebula	Emission Nebula	Const.: Cygnus
Camera: SBIG STL11000M	Scope: Tele Vue NP127is	Mount: Losmandy Titan
Filter(s): Hα	Exposure: 9x8m	blank
This image shows part of the IC1318 emission nebula complex around Gamma Cygni in Hydrogen-alpha light. This image was actually acquired during a full moon (the joy of Hα). This image was acquired using an SBIG STL11000M CCD camera mounted on a Tele Vue NP127is. This image is a stack of 9 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.

 

Hydrogen-α
Object: IC1318 The Butterfly Nebula	Emission Nebula	Const.: Cygnus
Camera: SXV-H9	Scope: Tele Vue TV-60is	Mount: Losmandy Titan
Filter(s): Hα	Exposure: 10x8m	blank
IC1318, some nebulosity around the star Gamma Cygni. This image is a stack of 10 eight minute exposures shot through a Hydrogen-alpha filter. The exposures were acquired using an SXV-H9 CCD camera on a Tele Vue TV-60 60mm f/6 refractor equipped with a 0.8x focal reducer, yielding an effective focal length of 280mm. The exposures were calibrated, defect-corrected and stacked using AIP4WIN. This image has been resampled down from its original size of 1392x1040. The artifact around Gamma Cygni, the bright star on the right edge, is due to microlensing effects on the CCD chip.
