Hello every body,

So, yesterday I have receive my CCD 314L+ and I was lucky to get beautiful sky, so I have try it and it was very easy to use it.

So, I beginning with NGC 925. There is 19 exposures of 600s:

After that, I have shot NGC 2175. There is 7 exposures of 900s:

And the last one, NGC 2903. There is 6 exposures of 900s:

Great 1st lights Francki. I presume you only used the Ha on NGC 2175

[FranckiM06]

Thank you Tom & Martin,

No, I also used the Ha filter for the galaxy because I haven't on the moment the L filter but I know it is only for the nebulae ! Now, I have it and I will try the galaxy with this IR-UV block filter and also the R.G.B filter for the color.

But I start, so I will need little time to control the color.

Now, I'm very happy to use a CCD and it is much easy to process that the image from the 40D canon !

Best regards.

Franck
