IC405

[Daniel-K]

heres my 2 hours on IC405 the conditions were less than ideal so i had to image at iso 400 but i plan on adding another couple of hours next time round. i have been trying to image this for ages now. even though my cam is unmodded im happy with the result especially the blue in the reflection nebula ( looks better in PS ??)

2hrs iso 400

Fair bit of detail coming through, are you going to add any more data to it

as you seem to have the start of something nice

well done

[Daniel-K]

yes i will be doing paul i would have had 5 hours on this but my setup was being naughty so i lost a 3 hours worth trying to get it going lol

Good start Daniel,

Any specific reason for such a low ISO or do you have 20 min. sub exposure.

Mark

[Daniel-K]

the man reason was the seeing conditions, and the other is my light pollution filter isnt up to the job of long exposures on iso800 my images at 3 min get blown out so unitll i get a new LP filter im stuck with shorter exposures

Very nice start

What camera and filter are you using Daniel?

Rob.

[Daniel-K]

just an unmodded 450d and a skywatcher LP filter, i really need a better LP filter because the scope is fast i can only get 3 min subs max were i would like to do 5-8 min to get fainter nebula

You going to try a clip in filter? I think I will go for the CLS one.

Rob.

[Daniel-K]

i think i will get one of these http://www.firstlightoptics.com/light-pollution-reduction-imaging/hutech-idas-p2-light-pollution-suppression-filter.html they dont give the green hue the clip in ones give

[K3ny0n]

Bad link matey, do you mean the Hutech IDAS one?

Rob.

[Daniel-K]
