[iwols]

Here's a cheeky one.....

Abell 12  ( the hidden planetary ).  (not my picture)      I tried it last night Ha and o3   with the Edge and Atik 414.  ... and there it was . Have yet to process.

Great thing is you do not need to find a bright star to re-check focus when you do the filter change.   There is a big convenient one in the FOV.

Located at the the top end of Orion....

is this an Ha target only ,and let us see your image when processed ,would love to see what the edge and 414ex make of it,had the c8 edge a couple of years now and only had 2 outings

no probs..... I'm just setting up for tonight.   It appeared in Ha and O3... and looking on Astrobin, seems like the wavelengths of choice..... and Nitrogen !!! if you have one of those filters just lying around.

Horsehead, Looking okay for me - 600sec Ha (but I forgot to start the guider for this one so starts a bit elongated). And why is it up North always has to have a clear night and full moon ?

I then need a clear moonless day to get the RGB data, but God knows when I will get that.

When's the next Total Solar Eclipse in the UK ?? ....   you might  get 2 x 1 min   RGB   ...  at a push...

[teoria_del_big_bang]

Well looks good in Ha 🙂

Can't even see the damned moon now for clouds.
What with having a failed flip and guiding issues only got 3 X 600s worth anything.

I'm having a go at California in Ha just for something to do. Star shapes are poor as I'm still waiting for my Gerd Neumann tilt adapter from 365 so not approaching any project seriously until I can get round stars!

Abell 12   (The Hidden Planetary)

There yer go...   

Mu Orionis tends to dominate the processing.  Ha-O3 combined in PS.

Ha :  30mins  ( 10x3mins)   O3 27min  ( 9 x 3mins) :    C8Edge    Full 2000mm FL.  Atik 414ex Mono.

@iwols

A couple more from last night.  If you have the focal length, then there are always a few smaller emission nebulae/objects dotted around the heavens away from the Moon.

I went for a few old favourites which are now in the Western sky, to get my 'eye' in again with the imaging  so to speak. It's been a while.  

Both with C8edgeHD with 0.7x, Atik 414ex .  Crab in SHO, HH in Ha-O3. ( although not much O3 in there)
