Hydrogen-alpha Faint Clouds to The East of Orion December 2024

Hydrogen-alpha emissions were rich in the area. Oblique straight fine dark filaments looked to be connecting two faint hydrogen-alpha emission areas near the center of the frame.

Here is a frame taken without dual narrowband filter:

Equipment: Sigma 28mmF1.4 "Art," Dual Narrowband Filter IDAS NB12 or Clear Filter, and EOS R6-SP5, modified by Seo San on ZWO AM5 Equatorial Mount, autoguided with Fujinon 1:2.8/75mm C-Mount Lens, Pentax x2 Extender, ZWO ASI 120MM-mini, and PHD2 Guiding

Exposure: 6 times x 1,800 seconds, 3 x 240 sec, and 5 x 60 seconds at ISO 6,400 and f/3.5 with Dual Narrowband Filter and 3 times 240 seconds and 19 times 60 seconds at ISO 1,600 and f/3.5 with Clear Filter

site: 2,434m above sea level at lat. 24 39 52 south and long. 70 16 11 west near Cerro Armazones in Sierra Vicuña Mackenna in Coast Range of Chile

Ambient temperature was 11 degrees Celsius or 52 degrees Fahrenheit. Wind was mild, and guide error RMS was 0.73". Sky was dark, and SQML was 21.78 at the night.

There encroached clouds soon, and the data were minimal.

Here was another runway star and bow shock cloud like below.

Seagull Nebula with FSQ-106ED f/3 December 2024 Dark Version

The area is rich in colorful gas and dust. There were faint dark clouds mainly in two parts on the frame. They shaped the shining nebula, Seagull Nebula. They might be reflecting light from stars nearby and blocking light from the shining nebula behind partly.

I tried exposure for 6 nights as my initial plan, but the telescope rotated 3 degrees unintentionally. Thus, this frame was composed of data taken for 3 nights. Those were enough for my purpose.

Equipment: Takahashi FSQ-106ED, F3 Reducer 0.6x, and EOS 5Dmk3-SP3, modified by Seo San on ZWO AM5 Equatorial Mount, autoguided with Fujinon 1:2.8/75mm C-Mount Lens, Pentax x2 Extender, ZWO ASI 120MM-mini, and PHD2 Guiding

site: 2,434m above sea level at lat. 24 39 52 south and long. 70 16 11 west near Cerro Armazones in Sierra Vicuña Mackenna in Coast Range of Chile

Ambient temperature was 12 degrees Celsius or 54 degrees Fahrenheit. Wind was mild, and guide error RMS was 0.76". Sky was dark, and SQML was 21.43 at the night.
