Hi resolution deep sky work :)

[Luis Campos]

Hi all,

Yesterday i made a crazy experience, coupling my DMK 21 to the 300 mm GSO newt. riding the freshly supertunned EQ6

There was a lot of turbulence and a bright almost full moon near by, first target was the esquimo nebula in Gemini, shoot 150x 2 sec. exposures to 2freeze" the seeing taking advantage of the HUGE light gathering of the 300 mm f/5 newt. Second target was the trap in M42, i tried to squeeze all the componets of this multiple system, and nice...they are there, components A, B, C, D E, f, G and H, these two of 16th MAG:!!!! Only with 5 sec. exposures (120 x 5 sec. gain at 800).

I'll try again this crazy experience under a steadier sky with no moon, i'm really enjoying this

Hope you enjoy too,

Best wishes,

Luís

Thanks guys!

I'll try this again in a near future but in LRGB, let me just get a clear and steady night

Cheers,

Wow, superb Luis, excellent results

Fabulous detail. Well done. It amazes me what is achievable with very short subs, provided you have loads of them.

With lots of subs, you can use them to increase the resolution of the picture (simple idea and process but a resource hog).

Stunning photos.. I'm very jelious of those with the 350mm ultra OO newts.. then I remind myself that I have to live in the same house and keep the missus happy!

Edit: I notice from the filename of the first photo that you're drizzling - this basically the same process as I've described.

Hi there Nick,

Yup, these two were drizzled under Registax version 6, iy does help to make a more detailed image and a more pleasant image scale with no resolution lost.

I understand you very well, this 300 mm newt. is a beast! And can you imagine I had it mounted on a balcony observatory? Thankfully now it's on my back yard (new house) the wife is much cooler about that now...lol

Cheers,

Luís
