Heart & Soul nebulae (with old camera lens on CCD)

[Tim]

On the odd clear night I have been mucking about with an old 50mm camera lens attached to my Starlight SXV H9 camera. A foam strip glued to the inside of the M42 lens adaptor substitutes for a filter drawer, and this picture is filtered through the Baader 7nm Ha filter.

Hopefully I will get a chance to add Oiii and Sii to this, but I have a new telescope arriving tomorrow so we will see

10 x 600 secs at f4

Thanks for looking.

Blimey Tim, that's worked!!

Ditto my remarks in your NA nebula post.

But I'll add wow to this one.

A great result Tim and not to shabby to the corners. Is it cropped at all ?

Very interesting theme.

only where the frames overlapped a bit Kev. I just got a new lens to try (135mm) but I think the Quattro is gonna keep me busy for a while yet

How did you find focusing with a 50mm lens? Great shot.

[Tim]

Not easy Sara! I have just bought a 135mm to try at Kelling. I might make up a little bahtinov mask for the lenses, at the moment I am using live view and just finding the lowest fwhm value and locking at that

[swag72]

Mmm, snap!! It was hard enough last night at 200mm - don't fancy my chances at 50mm!!
