Taken from Alum Bay beach on the Ilse of Wight. Love the effect of the horizon on the setting Moon.

Bus Stop to The Moon - Sunday night whilst waiting to get a shot of The Moon setting, caught this shot from the beach up to the headland. The Bus Stop is at the Battery at The Needles on the IOW.

Wanted to try and image the Moon setting but ended up clouded out.

First goes at Milky Way photography. Really enjoying it! Both shot with Canon R5 and 50 1.4 lens on SW Tracker. St Catherine’s Oratory - Isle of Wight Sky - 1 x 2 min exposure Foreground - 1 x 60 sec exposure The Needles - Isle of Wight Sky - 1 x 2 min exposure Foreground - 1 x 60 sec exposure

Hello, taken last month. An hour in each NB filter using 1600 and GT-81. Hope you like. Tom.

Hi there, I have just purchased a WO GT-81 and the Flat6A FF to go with. I will be using with the ZWO Filter wheel and ZWO 1600 MM Pro camera. Looking at the manual that comes with the camera it states the following: SCOPE - FF - M42 to M48 16.5mm Extender - T2 Extender 11mm - M42 to M42 (Male to Male) adapter - EFW - CAMERA I have found info that states the FF needs to be set to 7.1mm for the GT-81. I am a bit confused as have found different information to this on the web and not really sure what I should be looking at. Any help would be much appreciated as this is my first telescope (Only used lenses before). Many thanks, Tom.

Thanks. Absolutely, all a matter of taste I go between the 2...last night the starless was my favourite, today the star version

Thanks Martin

Thanks Peter, I normally do not do Starless but sometimes on really detailed images I like to see what the nebula looks like on its own. I know what you mean though about no context

Thanks Adrian

Thanks, yeah I agree. It really brings out the structure

A re-edit of a recent image. About 6 hours data split between Ha and OIII using the ASI1600MM camera and Canon 400mm lens. Also tried a starless version of same image.

Very interesting! Will have to check which mine are. Got a feeling they are the new ones. Thanks for info

Hi there, here you go. I have stacked both Ha & OIII with same amount of sub time. Added Ha & OIII with moderate stretch and then the same in Ha. I think you may have a good point with the stretch causing the problem. Think the stars are larger in OIII even in the moderate stretch but not as much as I was seeing. Think I may have been stretching too much. Still wonder how much the Canon camera lens (400mm 5.6L) may be not helping. Ha (Moderate) OIII (Moderate) Ha (Pushed) OIII (Pushed) Cheers Tommy.

Hi there, it is the ZWO filter Standard one that comes with the bundle. Was looking at the Baader 4.5 Ultra filter. Cannot push to a Chroma or Astrodon
