Rosette nebula in Halpha and a wonderful night

[prokyon]

Hi folks,

two days ago we had great weather! But the moon was shining. Halpha time .

I enjoyed this night very much. Here some impressions:

I spent 5 hours there. I made 19x900s frames with the Moravian G2-8300 through the Pentax75 and Astronomik Halpha filter:

66%: http://www.prokyon.startime.at/Bilder/NGC2237_66Perc.jpg

Too sad, that I did not have the OIII and SII filters in the internal filter wheel.

Cheers

WOW, that's 5 hours well spent, great capture, I also love the terrestrial photos as well. Where is this? The skies look great too...

Thats a stunning Rosette.

Now that is something I like to see more of ! Some wide photos of your sky & environment, your setup, then onto the main target.

For a portable grab & go setup your guiding looks spot-on and you must have spent a lot of time doing polar aligning.

By the way that's a very nice rural area away from the city lights!

Photo no3 where you are using the binoculars looks wonderful. Quiet and still and just the stars for company. Fantastic.

Have to agree with above. The Rosette is a nice pic but it pales compared to the widefield images of you, your kit, the night sky and the landscape. Fantastic set of images and i can see why you enjoyed it so much.

Hi folks,

thank you very much for the great feedback!

I have the G-42 with the off axis polfinder. Polar aligning is done within 10 minutes.
