Thats a nice start on M31.  What Tak scope do you have Steve?

The other Tak I have that I forgot to mention is the NJP mount .

This was taken with the TS71 imaging star.

I got the Tak collimator for the RC.

I do have an FS102 and FS60 though both doublets, the 60 is out on loan at the moment.

Good capture Gav.

It took me about 10 attempts before I got one.

Lovely image Steve works so well in mono, sort of makes want to delete the 3 hours I did with my Canon, which didn't pass muster compared with this. Must try harder.

Alan

Thanks.

Stick with it Alan the more you do the better it gets .

Thanks folks

Very nice image Steve, they must be faint, I think that is as long an exposure that I have seen anyone use.

Alan

I have been using that sort of exposure on the "squid" for about 3 years.

Hi Steve, I thought there was a load more data there for 21hours of Ha and a quick stretch in PI and sure enough you have some lovely detail in there.

I wasn't aware we could get this up in the Midlands, I'm going to have to research as I would love to do this, probably because I was getting confused with the Fighting Dragons.

Lovely capture BTW.

Thanks

I did stretch it harder but brought it back as the noise I thought the noise was coming through.

This one is in Cygnus and I have seen it called the flying dragon somewhere else esp with this orientation.

Nice one Charl.

Thanks for the reminder what the sun looks like.

Here is one I did earlier in Ha

about 1-34 in is first contact.

Pity the You tube compresses the data.

M31LRGB
Managed to almost beat the colour into submission
20 x 120 L 10 x 60 RGB
TS 71 IS and QSI cam

I did this with a 60 and a x2.5 powermate .

It has been a journey as up till this image I have been plagued with NR's when using the powermate, I hope that I have the tilter set up now.

Certainly brought more out.

I have a few Ha subs on this and I might try that technique.

Excellent work Steve, this is one major object that I regret not being able to image from my location.

 

Thanks.

We can try a swap with Eta Carina if you like for a couple of months 🤣

Thanks Charl

I might get a chance later on this afters.

I got it the other night with the C11, the idea was to try and image it but It was really too close to the moon.

It showed a very small blue disc with a 7mm eyepiece giving approx 400x. with the 20mm it showe as a good colour contrast "double" with Phi.

later i also nabbed Uranus slightly bigger and a pale grren/blue disc.

I really must do more visual with the SCT as the streetlamp does not really effect the planets and doubles.

Ok for me now.

Looks like an update was running.
