NGC7023 Luminance with QHY16200/ Esprit 100

[keesscherer]

This is one of the first images made (20170430) with my new QHY16200 CCD camera. I used a Hutech IDAS LP2 filter for this luminance image, 29x600 seconds binned 11 @ -20C. The data was calibrated with the beta version of Astro Pixel Processor (APP) using darks and flats. The QHY16200 was attached to the Esprit 100 on the GM2000 HPS mount. All images unguided.

Looking like a very good start with fine details in the nebula and plenty of molecuar dust showing through.

Well done and I look foreward to the colour image.

[Allinthehead]

Looking good.

Looking very good right out to the corners.

Yup, looking very good. I do think the core is a tad saturated but I'm sure the fix wouldn't be difficult.

I don't have any RGB from the QHY16200 yet, but i have some RGB taken with my Canon 6Da (50x240 sec iso1600 with the same Esprit 100 f5.5 telescope). So i played a bit with this set. Star colour is not great but i don't want to increase saturation beyond this. Used a luminance mask for saturation and CIElab colourspace combination.

Looking very good, nice work.
