NGC7000, IC5070, QHY8

[lensman57]

Hi,

Took advantage of the brief clear spell on the shortest night of the year. The stars at the edge of the image are a little iffy due to field curvature that the WO FF/FR 6 failed to correct but otherwise I am happy with this image.

WO 72 Megrez @ F4.8, QHY8, Baader UHC-s L Booster,

7X900s, stacked in DSS with full calibration frames and very simply processed in PI, tweaked in PS. HEQ5 Pro guided by PHD.

Thanks for looking.

Regards,

I'd be happy with that. Very nice.

Wow,  thats a long exposure for a OSC camera, looks great !

Thank  you all for your kind words. I have managed 1200s subs with both the QHY8 and Atik 428EXC even from my heavily light polluted location but I wouldn't dare go any longer.

It took me a moment to orientate myself there!

Very nice image and great to see that you got some imaging time in.

is that with your Baader UHC-s? i really need a LP filter. can those be fitted to a MPCC MkIII?

Thank you and yes, I used the UHC-s for this one, sometimes the IDAS P2 works better but as a narrow band LP filter Badder does a good job at the expense of longer exposure times. I wonder what the IDAS nebula filter is like though quite expensive.

That is as likely as having two consecutive clear nights up here in Manchester.
