Adreneline Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Hi Everyone. Beautiful though the Moon is it is not helpful when it comes to imaging DSOs. This is 52x300s of Ha taken with a RedCat 51 and ASI183MM, unguided on a CEM25-EC. The image was pre-processed in APP and post-processed entirely in PI. Some would argue this is not a good combination with the relatively slow RedCat (f4.9) and the small pixels (2.4um) of the ASI183MM combined with a 6nm Ha Astronomik filter. Be that as it may I am pretty happy with the end result; the addition of OIII and SII might have to wait for a moonless night. This was just an experiment and the 183 will be going back on the Samyang 135mm and the ASI1600MM will be going back on the RedCat because as a dual setup it works better for me in terms of fov. Thanks for looking - as ever all C&C are welcome. Adrian 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geeklee Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Very nice Adrian. With the right integration, the RedCat is still fast enough to get a detailed and deep image on the 183MM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a great combination and I don't understand why the ASI183 gets so much bad press. This image is let down by the 'seeing' on the night and Mr Moon trying to get in on the act - nothing to do with a slow refractor or a small pixel camera. Slow and steady wins the race!

clarkpm4242 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 @Adreneline I find this very appealing. Paul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
