Last night I was imaging from Naples with my 88mm "nighthawk" refractor
which gives me a nice wide field of view for some wide faint objects, both
are Supernova remnants.
Attached is the "spaghetti"nebula (SH2-240). I had taken it before with a
one shot color camera, but ended up with "linguine" instead of spaghetti
(mildly blurry detail).
Last night I used my ZWO6200 camera with separate Ha, O3, and S2 NB filters
for a better result.

I also redid my Vela SN remnant, see also attached

Beautiful images! I imagine these are composite of stacked images? Maybe another dumb question, but how long of an exposure(s)?

The spaghetti was 3 hours total, 1 hour each Ha, O3, and S2 filters, stacked from 5 min subs and processed in pixinsight.

The vela nebula shorter about 2 hours total because it peaks at only 16 degrees above the horizon even down here. Also limited to only west of the meridian due to a few trees across the lake. My fantasy is to some day at 3 AM go over and kill those trees under cover of dark…, :)
