Finally got to try this beast out last night in between the cloud ! Just a trial run to make sure everything was working correctly. Definatley getting a cooled camera next.  Very pleased that everything worked. Not sure on my processing though 😆

 

 

What wireless controller are you using?

this is a crop of main image - no drizzle applied, just a crop and a resample to a higher resolution.

really happy with the level of details. 12.5 hour integration

Lovely image 👍

I would have loved to get a better first light, but you've got to work with what you get.  Here's a couple of common targets from 21st Jan, both in Ha.  Fingers crossed for clear skies soon to get some decent integration done.  Thanks for looking.

StellaMira 90 + 294MM Pro (Baader UNB 3.5nm Ha)

IC434 (15x300s) A real mix of sub quality.

M42 and M43 (30x120s)

Flaming Star Nebula in Auriga - 10 x 10 minutes unguided - StellaMira 90 EDT plus 0.8 RF - Fuji XT1 + L-eNhance Filter - GEM45 mount - Just light frames so rough and ready.

Nice job Chris!  Are you using a mirror less camera?  I’d be interested to learn more as have an older Fuji XE2 that might work?

I tried some solar imaging with the StellaMira and Herschel wedge.

5% of 4000 frames with QHY5III462C

Thanks  Yes I'm using a stock Fuji XT1 (circa 2014) connected via a Fuji FX T-ring.

There is no need to astro-modify Fuji's as they let in plenty of hydrogen alpha just as they are

Ah thanks Rob  I have tweaked it since though as I realised the background was leaning too much towards the red.

Horse head and flame with the Stellamira 90mm plus 0.8 reducer. ZWO183MM and Optolong filters. Only stacked LRGB, need to add some Ha to it.

[Rafael]

I tried something different yesterday. M44 (360x20" with QHY294C Pro) The imaging performance is really good except for some chromatic aberration. I'm trying to remove that in in post-processing.

Bodes, Cigar & NGC3077 - 18 x 5 minute light frames with the SM 90 EDT + 0.8 RF and Optolong L-eNhance, Fuji XT1 ISO 1600. Processed in GIMP.

Finally finished processing it ! Combination of 5s & 120s exposures using the ZWO183MM, Stellamira 90mm triplet with 0.8 reducer, Ioptron GEM45, ZWO EAF, Optolong LRGB filters, ZWO 120MM Mini guide scope with the 50mm Astro Essentials guide scope. Stacked and processed in Pixinisght.

It was great to complete a set of SHO data on the Rosette this year (I previously only managed Ha).  I used the SM90 alongside the ASI294MM and Baader UNB filters.

~4h Ha and ~2.5h OIII and SII.  Processed in PixInsight.  Thanks for looking.

[Mr Spock]

That's a real beauty 👍

[FLO]

Thank-you everyone for sharing your photos of StellaMira 90 telescopes and images you make with it 🤗

I was able to record my first data with the new monochrome camera.

I still have a lot to learn, but with the short total integration time of only 2h40', I'm quite happy with the result.

The StellaMira I was kindly loaned is going back this week so I've put together a quick review video before it goes: 

 

[RobST]

This is my one and only image so far with my StellaMira 90ed and canon 6d, skywatcher az eq6 pro. 

Same image but two different processes in pixinsight. 

Pretty chuffed with the results, first time using the 90ed and first time imaging this object.

Not sure which I prefer 😀

Thinking of getting a dedicated astro camera for the 90ed, has anyone got any suggestions? 

Loving everyone images, they all look fantastic. 

Cheers Rob

I did some solar photography again. 600 frames of 3000
