Hi. I dont submit many images now,but i thought i would share this one of the JellyFish. Taken a few nights ago using my 80mm ED and Ha & O111 filters.Total imaging was just over 3hrs. Only flats applied. Thanks. Mick.

Thanks.

Yes quite.

Thankyou.

I have,nt posted on here for a while now. This is just a simple short capture of Albeiro i took recently.Just six 5 minute subs in RGB.I used a 80mm ED and a 450D DSLR. The noise was quite high,so calibrated regardless. Mick.

Wow Simon. I take my hat off to you,but i did tell you it was a great image. Well done . So low as well Mick.

Many thanks.

I.'I know you can use narrowband filters with OSC CMOS cameras,but can you use them with OSC older ccd cameras? Normally you would use with mono these sensors. Thanks. Mick.

This was taken last week with my DSLR modded 600D camera.No filters were used. A total of 4hrs with my Altair Astro 70mm Triplet. Calibrated with Bias and Flats. Cheers. Mick.

Mant thanks. Mick.

Thanks very much,appreciate the comment.

Hi. This was taken a couple of nights ago with my Atair 70ED triplet and x0.8 reducer using a Atik 314l+ ccd. It comprises of 3hrs of Ha and the same for the O111.I could,nt get the whole heart,as the sensor is too small,to fit it all in,so i settled for the central region. I made it into a starless image,as i personally think it looks a bit bettter.(maybe you dont). Did calibrate,but flats did,nt work that well. Cheers. Mick.

Thanks Martin.They do say the colours of Narrowband are artistic license.😂

Hi. This is an image of IC5070,namely the Pelican Nebulae in Cygnus.This is usually seen as a wide field image,so the Pelican can clearly be seen.However i dont have a wide field set-up,so this is more of a close up.It was taken last week with my 102mm ED refactor and Atik 314L+ ccd. It is a bi-colour image consisting of 2hrs of Ha & O111. Bias only frames were used,as i inadvertently moved the camera before i could shoot the flats. Stacked in APP processed in Photo-Shop. Cheers. Mick.

Thanks Simmo. Mick.

Hi. I imaged this Nebulae over two nights recently,with a 102 ED and a Cmos 183MM camera.It is a combination of Ha and O111. Imaging time around 6hrs. I love the two reflection Nebulae at the centre known as VdB 131 and 132.Looks like a pair of eyes watching us. Surrounded by the large Emission Nebulae they do stand out. Cheers. Mick.

A quick word on my recent order from Altair Astro "Exerllent).Emails answered promptly,and very quick delivery.Top marks to AA.

Thanks for responding,and appreciate your help,i would have tried this if the other procedure had,nt worked. Mick.

Sorted Thankyou. Selected the Altair option in the Drop down box,and the camera connected. I had asummed it was just an ascom connection. Mick.

Hi yes i have. Hope yodda sees this.😂 Cheers. Mick.

Hi. Does anyone know how to install Altairs Ascom Driver.I have tried but APT does not see the camera in the chooser. Cheers. Mick.

Thanks for this. Mick.

Thanks David,those images are lovely,appreciate your reply,of course anything else you can find would be great. Mick.

Hi i,m thinking of buying a canon 6D full frame camera,but am concerned it would be a bad choice for a 102mm F7 refractor,due to vignetting. I have read it is only really suitable for lenses. Other than the 6D can you recommend a good canon alternative. Many thanks. Mick.

Thanks Simmo,appreciate that. Mick.
