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.

The heart of the Heart. It’s a personal thing but I think natural colours make the target resplendent.
Mant thanks.

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.

Some very nicely resolved dust details in there Mick. The colour scheme is quite dramatic!
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.

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.

You could try running the ascom diagnosis and choose the camera... My ascom plays up so now it's the first thing I do
Thanks for responding,and appreciate your help,i would have tried this if the other procedure had,nt worked.

Have you selected the correct type of camera in the "Select Camera Type" window, accessed by using Shift+Click on the Connect button on the Camera tab?
Note there's the choice of "ASCOM Camera" and "Altair Astro Camera" in the dropdown menu of camera types, so maybe try both? It also says: "Connect all Altair Astro cameras before starting APT in order to see the model number."
Sorted Thankyou.
Selected the Altair option in the Drop down box,and the camera connected.
I had asummed it was just an ascom connection.

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

If you are planning to use a flattener/reducer, you shouldn't expect much better coverage than an APS-C sensor size. The reducers reduce (pun intended) the image circle while raising brightness (to put it simply, like concentrated milk).
If you are planning on shooting only at native focal length, there *may* be some vignetting on a full frame sensor, but nothing flats can't fix.
N.F.
Thanks for this.

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

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.

Thanks Simmo,appreciate that.

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.
