Small and medium size targets in 90mm refractor

[drjolo]

At the beginning of these year during the tests of TecnoSky 90/540 Owl refractor I have captured several frames with different targets. Actual field of view of this setup (with APSC camera) is 3 by 2 degrees, but I was wondering how the smaller targets will look like in that modest aperture telescope. Then I have prepared a mosaic of them and here it is below. 

Each single frame is about 0.5 degree, and each image is 1-2 hours of total exposure with Baader L filter and QHY268M camera under suburban sky (NELM about 5mag). Mosaic panels are resized down 50% (click to enlarge).

Here is example 1:1 crop on NGC4214:

and example full frame resized down 50% with NGC4088 galaxy and others:

I love widefield shots of galaxies.  Most times you look at one you keep seeing more and more galaxies.

Great presentation, thanks for posting.

Super set of images Lucas and well worth opening the big mosaic at full size to appreciate the detail captured at this FL.

That is very true - there are so many of them for example in this area next to M101 once you enlarge it:

This is 5 hours of luminance with QHY268M camera and 90mm refractor.

Superb, love b&w images, they look real unlike over processed images that to me look coloured in .
