Sh2-140 Hargb in Cepheus

[Allinthehead]

Hi all, this is Sh2-140 in Cepheus. I wanted to add at least another 5 hours rgb to this but I've sold my Tak 130 and I'm eagerly awaiting the newly redesigned Tak Epsilon 160.

110 rgb subs 180 seconds at gain 0 with the Asi2600mc

100 subs at 180 seconds gain 100 Stc Duo Narrowband

Tak Epsilon 130 mounted on an AzEq6

Sequence Generator Pro for capture, processed in APP, PI, and PS.

Regards,

Richard.

Thanks Dave. It's speeding its way from Japan to Austria as I type, I'm hoping I might get it next week, forecast is poor all next next so no rush. I'm really excited about the 1.5 x extender which will give a focal length of 800mm so it will open up more targets for me.

I really hope there's no delay as I've just boxed up the 130 ready for shipping.

Thanks Brendan, I've been on the lookout for an Epsilon 180 and when I came across the new 160 with the optional extender I felt it would suit my needs better.

Lovely image Richard, the star colour is really nice.

Hi Martin, thanks. This camera gives some lovely colour. I still haven't settled on what gain to use. This was at 0, but I've used gain 100 with nice results too.
