Quick Bode's Nebula

[Baffa]

Just a quick M81, M82. As I already mentioned the nights are getting shorter here in Sweden so there are only a few hours availble.

But, managed 19 * 600s frames before I had to pack everything up, I do need some sleep ;-)

A bit noisy, was interested to see if I could pull out some weaker stuff. It's there, sort of, but very very noisy so I left it unshown. Some day I will return and do this properly!

Taken with:

Skywatcher 200PDS

ST80

NEQ6

QHY8L

Very nice one for a "quick" shot

Superb, that's a beautiful image. Well worth the lack of sleep! And you call it 'Just a quick one...'?!

Fantastic image with the QHY8L!

Fantastic image with the QHY8L!

Thanks! I really start to like this "cheap" camera, we had a couple of fights but now we are starting to become really good friends. :-)

Thanks for sharing

Would you post a pic of your rig?

[Baffa]

Here is image of my rig, missing a few things like my laptop, more cables (hehe) and QHY8L camera.

Thanks for that, Robert. You really happy with your setup?

I just got my first TS70ED for my Skytracker but am having trouble planning for the future...

Anyway, thanks and keep those beauties coming.

\o Cheers!

I'm pleased with my rig, sure, there are always much better stuff but for the cost I'm happy how it performs.

I'm considering getting a small apo refractor for wide field and a longer focal length scope for small targets, but these plans are far into the future.

Nice and detailed.

You should adjust the distance to the coma corrector, i think it's a little too long?

[Baffa]

Nice catch! It's indeed around 1mm too long. ;-)

Thats a lovely wide field image of two of the skies best galaxies, you have even captured traces of the IFN.
