That's excellent!

 I have the same 'scope and camera combo. What were your gain and offset settings?

 

David

thanks David, i was using unity gain (139) and offset 50.

hi all, here's an image i took last month from my usual spot in the south of france.

i imaged it with my 8" newtonian from skywatcher.

here are the details :

hi all,

here's a little image from couple of weeks ago i shot from my usual observing site at the côte d'azur observatory in the south of france.

that's the galaxy cluster abell 2151 in hercules.

i imaged it with my 8" newtonian from skywatcher.

here are the details :

mount skywatcher eq6r

imaging cam: asi1600mm cooled at -15c

guiding cam: asi290mm on zwo OAG

coma corrector TSGPU

zwo filters LRGB

L: 48x180sec=2h24

RGB:3X20X180sec=1h per colour layer

still have a few issues to sort regarding the coma corrector but overall happy with the result.

clear skies everyone

here's a version with a little bit darker background. 😉

Maybe the sky is a bit too bright for my taste.

i'll agree with you on that one. i didn't measure it to be honest, just did it visually and it really depends on the screen you're viewing it on.

What coma corrector are you using? 

TS Optics GPU

thanks a lot for all your comments guys

hi all, here's a little image from this weekend, taken with my newly acquired 200/1000 newtonian.

i shot it with an asi1600mm and zwo lrgb filters. i used individual 180 second exposures and stacked them in DSS, then used siril to assemble the rgb image then processed it in photoshop.

L: 40x180sec

RGB:3x18x180sec

mount: EQ6R guided with zwo OAG and asi290mm mini

i like this triplet with lots of distant galaxies in the background.

clear skies
