Details:
Scope/Camera: The widefield "palette" for this image was
obtained on December 10, 2021, using the a self IR-modified Canon T7i
in conjunction with the Samyang/Rokinon
135mm lens/Canon T71 (5.8"/pixel). Additional Ha and RGB data of this
region were also obtained on December 10, 2021, using my FSQ106/U16M (3.5"/pixel).
Data from my prior images of IC1805, IC1848, and SH2-202 taken over the
years were added to create the widefield composite shown above.
The cumulative imaging time to produce the above image was
approximately 40 hours
Autoguider: ST402
Filters (for U16M):
Baader HaRGB
Processing:
Preprocessed in PixInsight (Canon T7i raws); Postprocessed in Photoshop
