Gamma Cygni nebulas with MONO 350D - WIP

[Luis Campos]

Hi all,

This is the first time I'm using my little ED80 and a TS Photoline 0.8x reducer / flattener togheter with my TEC cooled and monochrome Canon 350D

I'm blown away with the sharp pin point stars this combo produces, and the detail with only 480mm f/l is very good, I can't wait to get some nice clear skies (will it ever happen...?) to go for the veil, north america, etc...

This is a work in progress image, hope to give it another two or three hours before the moon gets in the way.

Hope you enjoy:

Best wishes,

Luís

Hi Luis,

Great image from you yet again. I still have not used my Mono 350d in anger yet since I converted it but I have got it working. Just waiting for a clear night.

Regards and clear skies,

A.G

Thanks A.G.

Yep, same here, rain and clouds...this one need more time to smooth it, but still I'm quite happy with the details

Hope to see some work of your mono 350D, this is one hell of a camera for narrowband!

Cheers,

Luís

Brilliant!   Superb detail   Do I detect a tiny guiding problem though?  Those almost pinpoint stars are just a little stretched.  I don't wish to detract from this fantastic image, just nit picking as a positive thing (sorry my recall of the right words is failing me as I get older).

I'm getting frustrated waiting until I can get a mono modified and cooled DSLR on line myself   Maybe I should try to make the case parts by hand rather than waiting until I can get my 3D printer working again

Hi Gina,

Thanks

There's some residual miscorrection on the corners especially near the bottom lef/right corners, I'm just using the reducer / corrector as is just on the Tring, must try with a little different spacing to see what happens.

Yes, you should finish yours, I'm having a lot of fun now with the summer nebulas =)
