Two hours of EAA

Fabulous night last night chasing Messier objects. Best snap attached. 152 seconds. Very happy with it!

Nice and crisp. You should try it in colour!

Thanks. I don’t have a colour camera and I’m not fiddling with filters. Having come from the visual discipline, the grey looks natural.

Hi Richard,

Enjoyed your post - close to what I would see with a 20"Dob.  I too went from visual to non-colour EEVA for the the 'more natural' view and stayed with black/white for my years of using  EEVA to 'observe'. Colour does have value for PNs, studying star clusters and for picking up hydrogen alpha regions in galaxies. Enjoy the EEVA journey.

Which camera are you using? I like the grey scale too

I totally agree, Richard. 

I used an ATIK 428EX mono CCD camera for years. And enjoyed looking at the mono images live on my computer screen.

RGB, for me. Is too much faff.

Very nice. This branch of astronomy does look very appealing 👍
