With the bad weather of the last .... whatever ... i took back the data from 2018 and did a new try but this time with Pix. Click on the image for the full.

Reflection from your coma corrector. It happens on verry bright stars.

Flexure, you should better use an aog.

+1 for the Esprit 100. Good optics with good mechanics. It works up to full frame sensors. It is a scope to keep for year.

There is a new one but i did not see any results yet https://starizona.com/store/featured/apex-ed-0-65x-reducer-flattener-for-apo-refractors-and-rc-acf-telecopes

The mask for the color saturation was to narrow. Now the Ha in the border has some color.

Nice done and what a big chip you use. Did you combine the 3 channels or use Halpha as a lum layer and Ha+Oiii+Sii for the color combination?

NGC 281 from this week. ASI 1600MM pro Ha 120 x 300 sec OIII 24 x 300 sec SII 24 x 300 sec Newton CFF 200 F5 Avalon Linear & autoguiding Software SGPro, EQ mod, PI & PS CS6.

It looks promising. The 3" looks much better compared to the 2" version

What a monster of glass you have there, a triclops!

This one was done over 6 nights. It is clear the nights are getting colder. Click on the image for the full. ASI 1600MM pro Lum 600 x 60 sec RGB 3 x 120 x 60 sec Newton CFF 200 F5 Avalon Linear & autoguiding Software SGPro, EQ mod, PI & PS CS6.

It looks like the skybackground is not the same for each color. Can you remove the gradient for each color and not at once in RGB?

Really nice picture.

Thx Paul, getting the colours right is something hard for me in ap. It is try and error.
