PIER-03 3 pane mosaic request of the vdB14 region

Hello all

I have a target suggestion which I feel would really benefit from a third frame, and I hope it's ok with the other subscribers to our fair light guzzler if I place the requests in system.

It's a less often imaged area but it's extremely rich in detail. As you go wider more interesting an different textures and colours keep appearing.

The target has not risen in the east yet so we should be able to snipe it at it clears the horizon limits for the first time in a couple of months. The east horizon is darkest and furthest away from the setting sun so we should get good data without impacting on the zenith jobs which will likely be in.

The target area of vdB 14 is a fluffy reflection nebula bordered by lashings of Ha continuum. As we head right from the main target, the 2nd frame reveals a high-contrast dark nebula hopefully bathed in pink/red Ha.

Looking to the left of our target, the fluff is harshly cut off by framing - when I added a third frame to the left of centre it nicely completed the main reflection nebula and will hopefully reveal a really bright pink nebula region which again provides more interest.

In terms of exposure, I propose 80 x L, 40 x RGB and if we want the continuum 60 x Ha for each frame.

I have attached example images of frame 1, frame 1 and 2 together, and frame 3 1 and 2 together. Frame 3 will actually go further to the left than this example which I think is going to look great.

Cheers all

Pete
