Single Subs from Orion SSDS III

[NickRose2006]

I just got my Orion Starshoot Deep Space Mono Imager III kit with color filters and filter wheel included and I bought a H-a filter on Friday. Took it out to do some single exposure test shots since I had to get up early the next morning. Need more time on figuring out how to do stretching etc. with MaxIm DL Essentials.

Here are some of the subs I took. The first is with the L filter at 140s, second is with the H-a at 340s, and the last one is with H-a at 2x binning. No guiding was done as you can tell with the 340s H-a. I did do some stretching, but like I said its new to me so I'll have to learn.

How are these for Single subs, is this what all 285 CCD's produce? If so I'm very pleased and if not I'm still pleased. I'll have to play around with the fan speed because I kept it at default of 5, it says if you go to high it might result in artifacts in the image.

NIce, very good for single shots. A few more frames and those could really become something great.
