Helios

Running Man Nebula 10 frames @ 20 sec ED80, Atik 2hs and 0.5 Reducer Blustery but clear night, could only manage short subs as the wind was causing problems.. Saying that it's my best running man to date.. Martin..

A quick m42 Finaly got a clear night, but 50mph winds did'nt help much hence the short subs.. ED80, Atik 2hs used 10 frames @ 15sec Martin...

Thanks Rog Here's a redo using that tutorial..managed to get a bit more nebulosity to show by increasing the contrast a touch.. Martin

Thats really kind of you Rog... Cheers Martin P.s Where would i be without you..

Wish i knew how to reduce them bloated stars Rog :?Very happy with the end result Martin

A small part of the veil nebula, had allmost perfect viewing for this time of year, very clear and still conditions.. I have imaged the veil nebula before using a 135mm lens but not this part, i was going to use the 135 lens tonight but couldn't be botherd changing things and stuck to the Skywatcher102.. Skywatcher102 Atk 2hs 0.5 F reducer CLS Filter 40 frames @35sec Martin

Good to see you back Rog, You could sweep the floor with that Cracking Image Rog.. Martin

Crescent Nebula Really happy with this one as i managed 45sec exposure with my EQ5 mount.. Skywatcher 102 Atk 2hs CLS Filter 30 frames @ 45 sec Martin

The Cocoon Nebula This was a tough object to find i was on my hands and knees for half an hour trying to starhop to it plus the moon didn't help.. Captured with a skywatcher 102, atk 2hs and CLS Filter.. Martin

The Omega Nebula Captured with a Skywatcher 102 s/t, Atk 2HS and CLS Filter 30 frames @30sec Martin..

The Eagle Nebula Captured with a Skywatcher 102 s/t, Atk 2hs and CLS Filter 45 frames @ 30sec Martin..

Pulling some wispy stuff in there Rog and lots of it, good positioning of the two stars Merope and Alcyone, like that one ... 8) Martin

The Barlow that i use is a x3 Tal Barlow (#452) Cost £35.00 from Sherwood's i have had some excellent results with it especially with Jupiter...but i suppose a more expensive one will get a slightly crisper image.. Martin

Managed to get a better field of view tonight.. skywatcher 102mm, atk 2hs, neodymiun filter and ir block filter 24 @ 38 sec martin..

Wow Rog that is a magic moment :clouds2: How u do that.. Martin

I missed this object last time the old star hopping let me down, so i thought i would have another go just to see if i could find it although Rog will do me about HA Filters lol sorry Rog i know your right old mate will get one soon You can just make out the cone centre just lol... Shame about the blob on the ccd had that on all my shots last night Anyway here it is Martin

Good attempt Rog, difficult conditions although i had the best night for ages last night just i had the focus slightly off and should have used 2X Barlow and not 3 X, the seeing was perfect saturn was so still i had to keep checking the computer hadn't crashed Martin..

My First Saturn since may last year.. Helios 8ins F5 Reflector, atik 1-c, neodymium filter, ir block filter and 3 X Barlow There's two images taken with slightly different settings although i think the focus was just a bit out.. Still I'm happy with result Martin

Horse Head done with a skywatcher 102 s/t, atk2hs neodymium filter and ir block filter. Excellent night very clear as this image shows lots more detail compared to one i did a few nights ago... Had to crop the image as there was a dark blemish on the lower part of the shot Still no HA Filter Used Martin.. Spent a little more time with photoshop hope you like it
