glider Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 It was close because of the clouds but last night I finally managed to get some imaging in after nearly 6 weeks off. Bagged 1 hour of Ha in 10min subs and 2 hours of OIII in 10min subs. Atik 16ic mono/Astronomic filters/ED80 on HEQ5 Synscan Pro. Guided with PHD, QHY5 on Brightstar OAG. Stacked in DSS. Processed in CS3, maybe a little too much. Aiming for a couple more hours if the skies ever clear again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mark Payton Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I tried looking for M1 last night and couldn't find it, but the moon was really bright. Nice picture by the way. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glider Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Yes, it was very close to the moon but the narrowband filters took it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philjay Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Great image Noel. Just how do you get the clear skies to do 3 hours worth? I've been bosting to get some O111 data to add to my last years Ha and cant get 5 minutes of clear sky. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RobH Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Good capture in tricky conditions and fine colour. You've used a filter on it though (noel's actions?) which has caused artifacts.....what did the processing involve? I reckon there's a fair bit more to be had out of what looks like good data Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glider Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Yes, it was XiMagic's XiDenoiser plugged into CS3. I added another 2 hours of Ha last night and have included it here. False colour is a la Cannista Bicolour method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
