  1. Last night was the best forecast for as long as I can remember and I managed to grab a solid 6.5 hours worth of subs on the heart nebula. Details were as follows: WO Redcat V 1.5, ZWO ASI294MC Pro, Optolong L-eXtreme, SW HEQ5 Pro, SW 50ED Guidescope, ZWO ASI120MM guide camera 76 x 300 second subs stacked in Siril and processed in photoshop Critique welcome
  2. Despite the awful weather of late I managed to grab 35 x 300 subs on the Soul Nebula last week, relatively happy with the outcome despite the short integration time. Still a lot of noise in the image but hey ho Skywatcher Evostar 72ED OVL Field Flattener ZWO ASI294MC PRO @ unity gain, -10°C Optolong L-eXtreme Filter Skywatcher 50ED guidescope ZWOASI120MM guide camera Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro APT/Stellarium/PHD2/EQMOD Stacked in Siril and processed in Photoshop Bortle 8 Critique welcome
  3. Thanks, I used a ZWO ASI294MC Pro with an Optolong L-eXtreme filter. It could do with way more data if I'm honest but getting any imaging in with the way the weather is at the minute is a bonus.
  4. Thanks, that's exactly what I did. I may try shooting the flats again and see what result I get 👍
  5. Managed to grab 3.5 hours on the pacman nebula on Wednesday with the 130. Flats haven't corrected properly so this is something I'm going to have to look into. I shot the lights using a home made dew shield which I removed to take the flats. Would this make a difference? I'm assuming not?
  6. Nicely done on a pretty dim target. I don't think I've had 28 hours of clear skies in the North east in the past 6 months 😂
  7. Wow, you really have these dusty images nailed.... great work
  8. Thanks, hopefully get to add some more data to it at some point 😀
  9. Perpetual cloud for what seems like months is starting to get me down, but a surprise gap in the cloud on sunday (despite clear outside predicting 100% cloud cover) allowed me to grab a couple of hours of imaging time so I decided to shoot something big and bright. Managed to grab 43 x 3 minute subs using my Redcat and 294MC Pro. Reasonably happy for just over 2 hours from my bortle 8 garden. Normal service of 100% cloud cover has since resumed!

    The power of F2, nicely done
  11. I've got that exact same combo and yes, camera the 21 and 16.5mm spacers and then the FF. You'll need an M42/48 adaptor for the spacers to the field flattener but you'll get one with the camera
  12. I have a 294MC Pro and for what it's worth I took my darks off the scope with the camera cap on plus a layer of foil. I just matched the temp, gain and offset of my lights and I've never had an issue calibrating out the amp glow
