20, 30, and 60 minutes of smash-and-grab Ha

[AKB]

I got back yesterday from AstroFest and,what do you know, it was clear outside!

Just had to go with what was set up at the time:

• Quattro 8" with Coma Corrector
• Avalon M-Uno
• Atik 460EX
• ZWO OAG (first real time I've used an OAG) with SX Ultrastar
• Baader 7nm Ha

The OAG proved easy enough to use with decent star images, and I wanted to try it quickly on a number of targets.  So here we have:

• M1, 12x5 minutes (oops, forgot to dither)
• Horsehead and Flame , 4x5 minutes (ditto)
• Flaming Star, 6x5 minutes, to continue the flame theme (did remember to set up dithering in Nebulosity)

...all with no cropping, so same FOV.

Certainly not the greatest of pictures, and only very quick processing, but I hope not too bad for such short exposures in Ha.  I'm really starting to think that I prefer just mono or RGB because it all happens so much more quickly (and it went down to -2C last night here...  OK, not Pyeongchan, but quite chilly enough.)

 

 

 

 

C&C welcome.

Very nice images with lovely detail in the clouds.  It was interesting seeing them at the same scale. Thanks for sharing.
