2600MC or 533mm pro, hear me out

I have been very happy with the 533MC so I recently added a 533MM to my kit.   The 533MM with a Baader 7nm Ha filter is awesome when coupled to my SS 150 F2.8 Hyper Newt.

This is a screen shot of a single 5 minute sub and a 300 minute image.

I will be having loads of fun if the sky will ever clear.

Watching with interest.

I was considering upgrading my 533MCP last year for a wider FOV but ended up getting a Redcat51 to supplement my Stellamira 90EDT  and I’ve been more than happy with the results in terms of increased FOV. I’m now considering adding a 533MM and using it on the 90mm.

Shooting in Mono is a whole new ball game and I'm glad I made the switch. 

The weather here has been atrocious (a handful of clear evenings in 5 months) but I had three hours in poor seeing a couple of days ago. Here's the Ha, hope to get Sii and Oiii before the end of the season!

533MM, 90mm f6 TS APO, Antlia Edge Ha filter, 360s x 24, no calibration yet

Great result so far, the Ha looks lovely!  Good luck with the rest, should be cracking final image.
