Trying out Sharplesses with an Atik and a lens

[riklaunim]

I've got a cheap old M42 lens (100mm f/5.8) and screwed that with Atik 314L+ and 7nm Baader H-alpha filter.

For a first try - IC443/444 around Tejar Prior / Tejat Posterior: http://www.astrobin.com/224173/

Today first try on my lens ultimate target (reason for 100m for 2/3" sensor): Simeis 147, Sh2-240, Spaghetti Nebula: http://www.astrobin.com/224174/B/- or at least half of it barely visible. I have to rotate the camera and likely photograph it at least for few night to get any decent image.

Spaghetti Nebula spreads for ~6x Moon apparent radius so it's huge but also extremely faint - and cool looking: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simeis_147#/media/File:Simeis_147.jpg. I barely saw it at a 10 min frame (which made framing quite hard). And I never had to use 10min with this Atik
