Now that's something to be proud of. Excellent -
That's a great piece of work.. Welll done!
-
There's a few issues I need to resolve with my imaging system before I'm able to capture better subs, but i'm happy with this image. 11 hours of Ha (12nm) in 5 min subs. Stacked in DSS and tinkered with in Photoshop. Equipment: Altair Starwave 102ED, 0.6x RF, 12nm Ha filter, Atik 428ex mono. Cheers..
-
Second process looks best. Much more natural.
-
At some point I will be redoing the whole project as I have recenly had it bought to my attention that my spacing between CCD and Flattner / Reducer is out by around 14mm. But yes, I'll be going for a colour image.

This was imaged over the last few clear nights. Equipment: 102ED APO, 0.6x FF/reducer, 12nm Astronomik Ha filter and the Atik 428ex. Guiding with a 60mm Primaluce Lab guidscope and Altair GP130. Mount: SW AZ-EQ6. Exposure: 3h30m in 15min subs. 24 x Darks No flats or Bias calibration. Tweeked in photoshop.

Saying nothing as i'm still picking my jaw up of the floor...... That's utterly excellent IMO.
-
Nice image. However i much prefer this with a lot more space around it, there's so much more to this target. Great pic all the same
-
That second image is much better. This target is a really nice in Bicolour as the Sii doesn't really come through in a Tricolour. Well done, very nice!

Personally speaking, this is by far the best rendition of M82 in Ha that i've seen. IMO its jaw dropping! Congrats, Freddie.
-
Something to report with... Image taken with 127mm triplet Apo + Atik 428Ex +Ha 310 min of data, 10 min subs. no calibration whatsoever as i'm still capturing my data....... currently at 700min and counting.
-
Hopefully get some more clear sky soon so I can continue. I managed to grab some SII and OIII for it yesterday. I'll attempt to learn how to combine them.. having never done it.
-
Cheers folks... yeah, it really needs a few more hours of data to make it pop. Fingers crossed.
-
I'm sure you can all recognise this one. 5 x 8min subs in Ha. Conditions weren't great when i started to shoot this, which is why I only have 5 subs.. Equipment 127mm ED Apo and Atik 428ex Again..... many more subs required..
-
Well, i managed to capture a few photons before the cloud took over once again! :/Crescent Nebula, Cygnus. 9 x 5min subs in Hydrogen Alpha.Darks and Bias calibrated, no flatts as yet.Equipment 127mm ED Apo and Atik 428exMany more subs required..
