Barnard 59, 65-67, and 78, The Pipe Nebula.
Taken under the dark skies of the Gower peninsula. The conditions were cold and windy with good sky transparency, stars were visible down to about 6.5.
I was using a Vixen DX mount. An Atik 383L mono CCD camera, a 135 mm lens, with Astronomik RGB filters attached to the front of it.
I captured 60 second sub frames with matching dark frames and combined them to reduce the effect of noise in the final image.
The exposure times were two minutes for each RGB filter and ten minutes for the unfiltered luminance data.
