  1. TS-Optics T2 Thread 360° Rotation and Quick Changer now installed I removed the 16.5mm ZWO M42M-M48F spacer that I had in place and replaced it with TS-Optics T2 Thread 360° Rotation and Quick Changer and TS-Optics Adaptor from M48x0,75 to T2 5mm T2-T2 spacer I've got Baader spacers in place to get me to 44.5mm Once the weather clears and I can get out into the field then I'll know for sure how far I'm out on spacing and then add/remove spacers as needed
  2. Thank you These are the filters I'm using (see photo). Working out ok so far I'm about to also pick up some RGB filters from the same brand
  3. Nico Carver describes a workflow for this Look up his post on astrobin for details ("3D Fly-in -- Simeis 147 / sh2-240 / Spaghetti Nebula (HaO3RGB)")
  4. It was a clear night last night. Managed to capture around 7 hours of photons on IC1396 and SH2-129 with the Samyang 135 Initial post processing with no noise reduction yet applied. Had to discard a few SII subs as dawn approached and the target started to disappear behind my neighbour's roof Close inspection shows that some tilt remains in my image train Will hopefully deal with that once my new lens adapter from FLO shows up With about 5 more night's worth of data yet to be processed from the past couple of weeks, I'm looking forward to the "final" iteration and hope to tease out "the squid" (OU4) Taken 17th/18th October 2022 from my back garden 🎯IC1396 and SH2-129 🔭 Samyang 135mm @f/2.6 📸 ZWO ASI294MM Pro 🔭 Celestron AVX 🔘SII 40x180s 125/30 🔘Ha 49x180s 125/30 🔘OIII 49x180s 125/30
  5. Hi Adrian My image posted here has no doubt been munged by my iPad after I tweaked brightness/saturation/vibrance/contrast before uploading here so will no doubt suffer from compression on close inspection/pixel peep As the image came out of Pixinsight untouched by iPad, noise reduction used was MLT and also SCNR Original jpg export of xisf image direct from Pixinsight attached here as a reference
  6. Saw first light with the new setup this past couple of weeks. Loving this lens Just now waiting on the Astro Essentials Samyang Lens to M48 Adapter from FLO , but for now using the somewhat "wobbly" ZWO EOS Lens Adapter NGC 7822 The Cosmic Question Mark Samyang 135mm @f/2.6 ZWO ASI294MM Pro Celestron AVX SII 68x180s 125/30 Ha 80x180s 125/30 OIII 60x180s 125/30 NGC7822 taken 14th/15th and 15th/16th October 2022 from my back garden
  7. Here's my "solderless" version; just now got this one assembled this morning for a 135mm lens setup Did a couple of iterations of the enclosure "faceplate" Also running another one I made earlier on a refractor
