Sh2-240 mosaic experiment and IC 417 (mosaic?), Session from 02.02.2017 - 03.02.2017

The Supernova remnant Sh2-240 fascinated me for a long time. Unfortunately it is very large and does not fit my chip at all. So I have never imaged it before. After an astro colleague at the Astronomicum Forum showed an 8panel mosaic of it, I was fire and flame and ready for my first mosaic experiment.


Here is the mosaic grid. The first dark panel of the mosaic is my 1800 sec. single testframe:

 

 



Another project I started together with Frank Iwaszkiewicz is IC 417. Here it would even offer to make also a mosaic of the surrounding field, because my IC 410 project overlaps in this picture ideally. With 4 mosaic parts you would have a nice widefield. Two parts I would have already - at least in H-alpha:
