IC 1805 in Ha on a windy night (monochrome and false colour)

[GordonH]

Hi all

There was another break in the weather so I tried for IC 1805 in Cassiopeia. I aimed for 20x10 minutes but the cloud came in after the 18th. It was taken with a TMB 115 f7 with Starlight Xpress H36 and a 12nm Ha filter, 18 x 10 minutes unguided on a Paramount ME, just as a comparison as I haven't got my filter wheel yet to do RGB etc, I have posted the same image with false Ha colour added in Photoshop with Noel's tools. There were some strong gusts of wind where I live so I am pleased the Paramount took it in its stride.

Better quality images are on my website www.imagingtheheavens.co.uk

Kind regards

Gordon

Beautifully framed image Gordon. You're really getting the camera to work for you now. What's the problem with the filter wheel?

Hi Martin

Thanks for the comments, I am getting the filter wheel via OPT in US and apparently FLI have been making some modifications to their filter wheels to improve performance so there was a delay there, I am also waiting for some Parallax tube rings for my C14 on the same order so I am waiting for the two to be ready as the shipping will be cheaper

Cheers
