M1 with new WO S73 Reprocessed

[mikemabel]

M1 imaged last night with new William Optics Z73 and 0.8 field flattener purchased from FLO after help from a fellow SGL member.

Taken with Optolong Enhance filter and ZWO 485MC . I am still tweaking backfocus so stars are not as good as they could be

 

45 x 180s gain 100 offset 50

Darks applied . Cropped and full scale

Any cc welcome

Looks nice with some great detail!

How are you finding the camera/scope combination? I have a ZS61 and am considering this camera due to the pixel scale it would give.

Hi Jonathan

I am loving this combo . The 485MC does have amp glow but when I take darks at the temperature of the images it calibrates out exactly . I would recommend a L enhance filter . If you look at my image of the horsehead nebula you'll see the results.
