ashworthacca Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hi guys, I have just acquired a Ha 12nm clip filter for my modded Canon 1000d camera. I image with my Orion ED80 and was wondering what are good targets at the moment that would benefit from this filter and taking into account my scope.From my site South and West are the best parts of the sky, North is not too bad but that is aiming right towards town centre and does suffer from LP. I can't see directly east unfortunately.I know that HA targets require longer exposures so would be looking at 15-30 minute subs......unless I am advised accordingly. I am at 53 degrees latitude.Any pointers would be gratefully accepted.Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashworthacca Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Excellent, although I did do a search before I posted and didn't come up with anything.Thanks for the link Sara, perhaps a Mod would be kind enough to close/delete this thread so the topic can be concentrated in one place??

martin_h Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 North is not too bad but that is aiming right towards town centre and does suffer from LP. I can't see directly east unfortunately.Dont worry about the LP...Ha filter will cut it out. I'm imaging North - over the town at the moment in Ha, doesnt bother me a bit (nore does the moon).Loads of Ha targets around Cygnus area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychobilly Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Take your pick in and around Cygnus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashworthacca Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Thanks Martin, good to know about the LP. Cygnus looks ideal......but when it gets dark it's moving from the north to east and getting hidden being my house:( Thanks for the posts though Martin/Peter.
