California Nebula HaRGB

[gorann]

Friends,

this is Ha data from the last few clear nights collected with my Canon 300 mm f/4 (ca 20 x 10 min ISO 1600) and 5" refractor (ca 16 x 20 min) sitting side by side, to which I added RGB data from the Canon lens collected in December (76 x 3 min). I also post the 5" refractor image as it is quite detailed. All with my trusted Canon 60D cameras (60Da on the refractor) on my EQ8. Further details can be found on my Astrobin.

C & S most welcome of course!

Cheers

Göran

Excellent image Göran.

Thanks Wim!

it seems like my trusted old naturally chilled DSLRs still have something to give, even in Ha.

They sure have. And with three of them you can get enough data in only a few nights.

Tonight I have only two of them going, using the Samyang 135 as counterweight (so I do not need to rebalance the triple rig). I am going for the Monkey head, which I expect will just be a dot for the Samyang.
