M1 with dual band filter

Recommended Posts

I recently bought the ZWO 1.25" dual band filter to add to my EVAA setup, to see if I could match the Seestar S50's performance on nebulae.  I figured that with a similar filter, and twice the aperture, it ought to...  The filter ought to cut out some of the achro scope's chromatic aberration.

Here is the result with 120mm f5 achro,  ASI462MC camera, EQ5 Synscan mount and half an hour's worth of live stacked 20 sec exposures.  Half an hour makes it more astrophotography than EEVA maybe.  

This is in fact a better image than the Seestar version and shows some detail of the filaments.

I've not observed M1 since my early days of doing EAA and keep meaning to try again now that I have better kit and a better idea of what I'm doing.

Your image shows some nice structural detail but not so much colour which I think can be a consequence of the dual narrow band filters.
