Popular Post Magellan Boy Posted January 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2023 II captured this image of The Crab Nebula on the 16th January 2023. It is a stack of eight 2 minute exposures taken using a Mallincam Universe camera at 22dB gain and full resolution through an Orion Optics UK AG12 astrograph. A 0.95x Wynne Corrector and Hutech IDAS LPS-D3 light pollution suppression filter were also employed. This setup was mounted on an EQ8 mount guided using a Lodestar camera using PHD2 through a piggybacked ST-80 refractor. The images were stacked in Deep Sky Stacker and processed in Nebulosity. No darks or flats were used. +Derbyshire Dave, Bottletopburly, +DaveJW and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bino-viewer Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Nicely done Mike, and good to see you posting on here. Keep them coming 😀🔭👍🏼 You have a formidable set up there. One of the UKs top imagers - Peter Shah, has the same scope I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magellan Boy Posted January 18, 2023 Author Share Posted January 18, 2023 Thanks all. Yes I was very fortunate to be able to obtain a second hand AG12 from a chap in Cambridge. I have taken a handful of images with it so far, but this was the first I have put on EMS. Yes I am having trouble loading the image on some devices and browsers. Will check with support.
