wolfman_55 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Hi all,Good weather at last. Over 3 nights, I've left my scope imaging up to the meridian. This is the result of 43 x 15 minutes:As it happens, one nights focus was better than the other two.......Need to try longer exposures next time i think.All comments gratefully received.Dave Johnnyaardvark, xanthic and StuartJPP 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 That is spectacular. You have brought out so much detail and colour, HII regions and smaller, fainter galaxies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antares_Paul Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 M101, for me, is a hard one but you have captured tons of detail there. A lot of work has gone in - and it shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Graham Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Stunning image there sir. What set up were you using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfman_55 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Stunning image there sir. What set up were you using. Hi Graham, That's a C11 with 0.63 reducer, QHY8L with CLS filter, OA guided using a QHY5L-II, 43 x 15 mins lights, 30 flats, 15 darks. With this set up, M101 just about fills the field of view. Just wish I'd got the focus as good on nights 1 and 3 as I did on 2.......... Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antares_Paul Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I've ordered a Moravian G2-8300....can't wait! The money pit continues! Dave Looking forward to seeing what it can do. I've looked at this camera more than once but wasn't brave enough to pull the trigger. I'm loathe to drop the DSLR with it's chip size but I tend to now crop to 3600x2400 so wouldn't be too far away with the 8300. I've had cooled DSLR's in the basket too from JTW. There's a theme forming here (typical Yorkshireman)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
