Sadr Region 200mm

[ruskclark]

I started Astrophotography back in September last year with a Star Adventurer and it was a great gateway in to this hobby. I recently treated myself to an iOptron CEM25P and this was my first chance to get it out and have a play. 

This is 3 versions of largely the same data. 18x300s Stacked with darks and bias in DSS. 

Mono version is just the Ha data processed in Photoshop. 

Red data has been run through StarNet++ and colourised

Colour image is the Ha data used as luminance and added to 15x2min RGB images I took back in December from the same lens on the Star Adventurer. 

Canon 450Da ISO800, Canon EF L 70-200mm f/2.8 at 200mm f/3.5, Optolong Ha 7nm clip in filter and Optolong CLS clip in filter for RGB images, iOptron CEM25P and Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer

Thanks Mick, Cygnus is perfect for 200mm, big Nebula that still look good at 200mm and so much going on and around it.
