tooth_dr Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 Image 1 is resized to 1000px Image 2 shows the six panels Image is full size processed I took this using a Nikon 180mm F2.8 lens at F4.0 A 1.25” 7nm H alpha filter was inserted into the adapter between the CCD camera and the lens. The very large moon was close by so far from ideal! 3 minute subs - total exposure time for whole mosaic is 84 minutes. Panels are between 9-18 minutes. Looking forward to a good clear spell to get some decent integration time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a bit of fiddling with the settings due to strong gradient from the moon but I got there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodd Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Wow--am I reading this right--the whole shebang is only 84 minutes? That's incredible. An amazing image of Orion--with many of its salient features--this is a wall hanging extraordinaire! Rodd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie alert Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Very nice Adam.. superb for 84 mins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z3roCool Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Very nice indeed! Can I ask where you put the filter? I have an ASI 1600 MM but using a filter wheel. I could use an Ha filter but trying to see if I can use LRGB on the filter wheel with a LP filter also. If I can install in an adapter for the CCD-->Camera Lens (I have one but not sure I can use a filter in it (It is a ZWO Canon EOS adapter). I also wonder if using 2 filters would cause problems also? Maybe easier just using the NB filter and keep mono. Cheers, Tom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The six panels had the following exposure, limited by cloud, had to chuck out 8 subs of the total 54 I took. 180s subs, using a Baader H-alpha filter. QHY9 KAF-8300 mono CCD, on a Nikon 180mm F2.8 lens, stopped down to F4.0 1) 9 mins 2) 9 mins 3) 15 mins 4) 15 mins 5) 18 mins 6) 18 mins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then use a female M42 - female M42 adapter to attach this to a M42 male to Nikon lens adapter. Hope that makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geeklee Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Brilliant. It's really enjoyable seeing more context to Orion (the belt and HH + M42 etc) as well as some of Barnard's Loop on the left (I think?) Not to mention the challenging conditions and low integration. Nice one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symmetal Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Very impressive Adam for such a short integration time per panel. Alan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
