RULES

All data must be captured and processed by you (no collaborative entries). 
Data must be captured during the challenge start & end dates. 
Multiple entries are allowed but please start a new topic for each entry. 
Multiple submissions of the same image, processed differently, will not be accepted.

To enter please start a new topic with your image in the ‘Imaging Challenge #6’ forum (each challenge will have it’s own). Please post as much information as possible - when it was taken, how it was captured and processed, etc. The info won't necessarily be used for judging but will help fellow SGLers looking to learn and improve their knowledge and technique.

Apologies for the delayed start on this and also the delayed announcement of the 30s challenge winners.

Is it allowable to enter narrowband images taken with a DSLR?

I would like very much to participate in the OSC DSO Challenge, for the fun of it.

Could you please post a period for it so I don't miss it? Or a schedule?

In the meantime, I'll be sharpening my talons...

It is currently in the list for Jan/feb/Mar '18. It *could* change, but unlikely I think.

We also have a galaxy challenge for the spring planned. The fov on a DSLR will be ideally suited to that.

[SonnyE]

No need to change at all.

I would be delighted to enter, now that I have a decent camera.

Just for the fun of it! I have no aspirations of winning anything. Less disappoints that way.

Thank You!

I too will be waiting for the osc challenge.

I love this forum and I love and these challenges

I'd love to see a cell phone imaging contest.

[Ant]

Cracking idea, I'll add that to the list.

Forgive my lack of knowledge,  What is OSC  ?

Nige.

[Stargazer33]

One Shot Colour. Basically a colour camera rather than a mono one.

HTH (hope that helps)

[Nigel G]

Ahh

TVM

Mono is the norm but if someone is using a DSLR or OSC for narrowband imaging then they are welcome to enter the images in the narrowband challenge. 

Please, everyone, enjoy your weekend.

Sorry about this but I was wrong. I hadn't noticed we had already specified "images taken with mono cameras". 

It is of course possible to use OSC cameras for narrowband imaging but if you do please submit those images to the OSC competition. 

Apologies for the confusion.
