PNJ replied to Susaron's topic in Imaging - Deep Sky
lovely image, I just bought this filter. when I split the channels, obviously Ha is the red. But my green and blue looked the same. Do you know which channel is the Oiii , the green or blue. Thank you Paul -
I received my new ioptron cem 40 mount yesterday from First light Optics. Excellent service and advice from them, thank you guys I was lucky to try it out last night , first the ipolar, it worked a treat was polar aligned in less than 5 minutes, and it was a quick alignment as I did not get the crosshair in the middle of the circle. however I was 3.7 arc minutes within the pole. the clouds started to roll in a little, so I fired up PHD2 and tried guiding, the rms values were 0.07 RA and 0.28 DEC. im sure I can improve on that especially if I use guise assistant and get a better polar alignment. first impressions are very good, . more to come later when I have had more chance under the stars.
