Rosette with 200mm SLR lens(Ha) # added 80ed data #

[MikeD]

Decided to have another try with the 200mm SLR lens I got off Ebay (£15 delivered)

Only 5 @ 10 Min's in Ha because for some reason Maxim dl froze up and then when I rebooted the PC the PC said there was a problem with the USB device

Sorted it this morning with a system restore, but It was too late to get good flats and any darks (too bright in the obs in the day) I have taken and used flats but they didn't work very well.

Problems aside I am very pleased with my £15 wide field setup.

Nice buy for £15 Mike, and will be a very useful addition to your imaging 'tool kit'.

One of these days, I'll get around to sorting out an adapter, so that I can attach some of my Canon lenses to the H9C.

That's a lovely clean image - even better when you know it was using a £15.00 'scope!!

Thanks guys

yes it was my Starlight express HX916

What adapter did you use and what focal length was £15 lens?

The "adapter" used was the filter wheel, lens attached to one end ccd to the other so I can image LRGB with the lens (see attached image) focal length f 200mm.

Great result Mike for 50 mins of data. I can't wait to have a go at a few of these emmision nebulae once I get my new CCD.
