M8 and NGC5139

[TC_Fenua]

Hello everyone,

Last Sunday night, I did my first shots with the Hyperstar and the C14, using a Baader modified 450D/XSi camera. Those are just preliminary tries to see how much data could be collected in a certain amount of time. I hope to share better pictures with you in the future

For Omega Centauri : 40x25 seconds @ 400 ISO, 30 darks, 100 offsets/bias, no flat.

For M8 : 30x30 seconds @ 400 ISO, 30 darks, 100 offsets/bias, no flat.

No guiding or filter either.

Thank you for passing by

NGC 5139 is real beauty! You're very lucky to be able to image it alas it will never be in my view here in the states i may have to relocate for that. Excellent work.

[Mr Bergman]

Very nice M8!

[TC_Fenua]

Thank you everyone for the kind words

[Gina]

Yes, very nice

Absolute beauties! I spotted Omega Cen from Sydney, but the cheap 15x70 bins I had at the time did not really do it justice. Wonderful object

[AndyUK]

It's insane how much data you can capture in such a short space of time! Again, these are absolutely superb

[Tom OD]

Lovely pairing

[Martin-Devon]

No guiding and short subs - yet fabulous images - you certainly have that Hyperstar working well!

I recently saw Omega Centauri, quite a sight. You have captured it superbly.

When Hyperstar works it is incredible what you can do in a short space of time. These are very very nice test images. I very much look forward to seeing to real deal

[WaveSoarer]

Very nice indeed.

How is this possible without 10 hours of imaging time and no £2000 CCD camera????

Just joking! Wonderful images - amazing what's possible with a fast scope & DSLR combo.

[Matthew]

They are both stunning.I would love a hyperstar setup for my C11.I cant wait to see what else you can image with you setup.

[Ewan]

Great images like others lots of detail & no guiding to boot , Hyperstar is on my list but not sure which decade i will afford to get it .

[TC_Fenua]

Thank you everyone

I can't wait to try it without the Moon interfering And with the Atik 4000M CCD

[Lars]

Your collimation is top notch. Great images. I really like them both and look forward to the Atik 4000M Pictures. /Lars
