Are they in Ha?

Here's a few of my attempts with this amazing lens. I absolutely love it and I can't wait to test it out with my qhy183m. Emil

Found it and joined. Thanks

I don't know. Do you have a link? Is there a forum? Also, I wanted to ask if you can add park or warm camera commands at the end of the session.

Thank you. I was thinking about the background. I'm used to framing in stellariumand I can see if there are small fuzzies that I can frame with the main target. I toogled between the image sources and I worked it out in the end. I'm outside now hoping for a ful test. Looking forward to use it. Looks very promising. I've vbeen using APT so far but I was thinking of switching to SGP. N.I.N.A came at exactly the right time. I installed the 1.9 Nightly version. I hope it works all right. Emil

I downloaded N.I.N.A too because my daughter in Nina and I have to like it ? I had a little play with it, connected my equipment, cooled the camera, checked the filterwheel is working properly. I quite like it. On the framing assistant, how do you make the image a bit darker to show the objects a bit better on the screen or what image source do you use for framing? Emil

I'm pretty sure it can be better than that. To me it looks very noisy. Maybe I should put the tif files here and you guys can play with them. They are all aligned and cropped so only need processing and blending.

Thank you guys. I found it a bit hard to get it right, if that is right, as I'm using Annie's astro tools in photoshop to create the hubble palette and I have no control over how much of the Ha, Oiii and Sii goes into the final photo. I would love to have control over it because what I've done now is process them a bit more or less and then combining the results until I got this. Emil

Not the best but being my first ever full narrowband photo I'm pretty pleased with how it came out. 72x300sec Ha, 71x300sec Oiii, 73x300sec Sii and 23x120sec for each RGB. Qhy183m, 130pds, baader 1.25" filters. DSS and Photoshop. I hope you like it. Emil

I have the exact same settings on my 450D.

I use APT, Stellarium with Stellariumscope and Astrotortilla. My APT doesn't connect to Stellarium, it connects to the mount through eqmod. Stellarium works with Stellariumscope which, like APT connects to the mount through eqmod. Atrotortilla (for platesolving) also connects to the mount through eqmod and it also connects to APT which is using the camera to take photos and see exactly where the telescope is pointing.

The rings for the 9x50 finder-guider are fixed on a altair astro vixen clamp.

Saturday night I went for the Sadr region in Ha with a Canon 200mm f2.8 stopped at f4 I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. 24x600sec ISO1600 with my canon 600d full spectrum modified. I'm loving this little mount. Subarcsecond guiding, couldn't belive it.

My latest results with the eq3. I went on a field trip to a darker skies location and I thought I should try to shoot the Rho Ophiuchi but until it rose a bit higher above the horizon I shot the M58, M87, M88, M89, M 90 and M91 group. Guiding the mount went really well. For the group of galaxies, I used my TS65quad and my moded 450d And for the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex I used a canon 200mm f2.8 stopped at f4 and my 450d I hope you like them

I only went away once in Devember but with my eq6. Want to do it but I can only do it during the weekend and I haven't been lucky to have the weather on my side. Was planing on it last weekend but the weather changed ☹ I wanna take it with my if I'm going abroad to some places with clearer skies.

This is the result I got from that night of testing the mount with PHD2 Unfortunately my dslr was runing at 28C as the whole setup has been sitting all day in the sun, under a telescope cover. Big mistake. This is all I could process out of it.

Hello everybody. This is my first post on this thread. I got myself a little eq3 pro to be used as a fully portable setup. ☺ It will be used with my ts65quad and my dslr lenses. I will be powering it from a 22Ah tracer battery, I will be giuding with a lacerta mgen standalone autoguider. I will be using a laptop only for platesolving and polar alignment with my polemaster. I can run it for 5 and a half hours from the tracer battery. My dslr will be powered from an external ex-pro 16000mAh battery. So far all I have done with it is testing to see what can it do. I had a few problems that I managed to sort out. A few nights ago I used phd2 to guide it and I was very happy to see how the guiding went. Looking forward for some proper dso imaging. Emil
