Popular Post Magellan Boy Posted August 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2023 M71 captured on the 15th August 2023. The image comprises 55 x 15s exposures taken using an Altair Hypercam 26C at 300 gain (plus darks, flats and flat darks), through an Orion Optics UK AG12 Astrograph mounted on an EQ8 mount. A 0.95x Wynne Corrector and IDAS LPS-D3 filter were also employed. No guiding was used on account of the short exposures. Images were acquired using SharpCap, and the processing was entirely performed in PixInsight. philjay, +Glafnazur, +Stu and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Glafnazur Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Now that is a lot of stars. You've got some nice star colours in there too Mike. I think this my favourite from your images with the new camera so far.👍 Magellan Boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stu Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 That's really nice! I had the LPS-P3 and struggled with colours but the D3 looks loads better. Magellan Boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the LPS-D3 does really well on star colours, as does the Optolong L-Pro. I also use the Astronomik CLS -CCD filter, which is great for nebulae, but does tend to redden the star colours. But that can be fixed during the processing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
