Veil Nebula first go modded

[Scott]

The last time I imaged this was with my 200p and standard 1100d.

I've since got a little frac (60mm) and had my camera modded. Although the moon was quite bright and time was short (just under two hrs) I'm happy with the potential this set-up offers.

Lovely. What focal length is your 60mm scope?

Martin,

I'd love to be able to offer you some sort of advice but I just got mine a couple of weeks ago so I'm flying blind myself. one thing I have noticed is that it seems to collect data a hell of a lot quicker than when unmodded. Good luck with yous and I'll be following closely to see if you've got any tips for me

Michael,

It's a altair astro 60mm triplet f7 (420mm) I used a 0.8 reducer on this. (336mm?)

Interesting. That is fairly close to my 80mm F/6 triplet with focal reducer (TRF-2008) which gets down to 384mm. Must really try that area during the summer vacation
