M82 LRGB with a planetary camera!

[james_screech]

C8 SCT @ F5 + AVX mount, unguided

ASI120MM, Gain 32

L(443), R(181), G(181), B(181) x 10 sec

178 darks

2000 flats (500 per filter)

Not too bad for a planetary camera and short subs. Every time I experiment with this camera I'm impressed with what it can do.

Nice result. Quite surprising

very impressive for a planetary camera,

i have one myself and have been impressed with them.

That great work with the equipment been thinking of a little cheap option on a widefield set up to dual run with main scope - that certainly helps sell it to me.

James, to me this is very impressive.  I never would have expected the detail - especially with 10s subs. 

Well done and thanks for sharing this image.

Great image with this camera, you can try more than 10 sec for next time? May be the result will be better!

To go much above 10s I would need to guide with my mount. I might try using my old DFK31 camera with an OAG for guiding but I'm not sure yet.

Great result James! I think at 1m FL you can probably push it up to 20 or 30s without guiding. I regularly live-stack up to 60s in alt-az mode at 800mm FL with not too many problems (field rotation is taken care of in the LodestarLive software). Anyway, let us know if you try it.
