First Light Explore Scientific ed127

[PNJ]

Hi All

thought i would try my first Bi-colour narrowband imaging with my new telescope, Explore Scientific Ed127, Target IC1805 central region. I combined using Ha/Oiii, Ha, Oiii and have this lovely rich yellow colour but not sure about the rest lol, but its a new learning curve for me. The problem i had was not getting enough Oiii data, only 9 x 10min, Ha 7 x 10min

but not a bad start

Also took a photo of the wonderfull Beta Cygni.

Last night i thought i try IC1795 and managed to capture 4 x 20 min Ha before the clouds rolled in, what happened to the clear night here in the north east.

Apart from Beta Cygni all images were 2x2 binning using a QSI583

looks like you're going to have fun with that scope...if the clouds part!

Very good start, that scope certainly looks posh.....

Interesting that you binned ,hoe are you finding the sensitivity compared to 1x1? I read somewhere that the 8300 doesn't respond all that differently binned, am glad that it certainly works well for you

Hi Guy

I only went 2x2 in order to try get more data quicker as i knew the weather was gonna change, 1x1 however is much more sensitive and normally use this mode if the sky is clear all night, although 2x2 binning gives nice results
