Tim Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I think it was Tony, or maybe MikeP who first showed me this beautiful double star at Kelling last year.It is one of those targets that is more impressive visually, but last night while the wind was howling, it was about all I could manage, even 3 second subs were streaking all over with the wind! It did calm down later.I dropped a wire frame over the front of the MN190 for this to get real diffraction spikes. It was also a short and sweet test of bright colourful stars in LRGB mode, I have to say, they are a hell of a lot simpler with a one shot colour camera Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prokyon Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Hi TJ,well done! Double stars are underrated objects for astrophotography. I think I will have to try it too.regardsWerner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aza Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Lovely image. I bet the exposure times have to be just right to get a nice result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 It is a LOT easier with a OSC, but of course the scale difference is huge. Probably a colour H9 would do a nice job at f10 on a big sct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
