M13 with the VC200L

[RichieJarvis]

Hi All,

As you might have seen, I've been playing with the Vixen VC200L recently.

Anyway, I thought it was about time I shared some of the fruits of my labours. Here is M13 through the VC200L with the SXV-H9 @ F/6.3:

This was Ha8x120, L5x60, RGB8x60

Cheers,

Richie

Wow that's very nice! reminds me of SLG5 and looking into Taff's circus canon, sorry 20" Dob... Interested to know why you did the Ha on this one? Does it tight the image detail up?

Hi Neil,

Yes, its a trick i started using a couple of years ago on Globs - Using Ha allows you to get more star-detail in the centre of the cluster, which tends to be overblown with a clear filter.

So the trick is to layer through just the centre of the Ha frame into the Luminance, which gives it a bit more depth.

Cheers,

Richie

That's a crackin image Richie! That Ha trick seams to be working a treat too
