fwm891 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Well I woke early this morning (about 3.00am) looked out to see a clear sky Dressed opened the obsy set-up cameras and started Managed 1x300s RGB when rain started So I thought I'd put them together anyway With the 8-inch RC at f8 processed with fits-liberator and PS-CS3 Shot at the same time on the dual mount a wider FoV with the 115 and a DSLR, slightly cropped: Edited February 4, 2014 by fwm891 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 That's nice Francis, there's loads of detail in such a short time. If that's just 15 mins, wait until you can really spend time on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawson Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Great. I don't think i've ever looked at 104, and i'm surprised at how bright it looks. It a very nice image, well done. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawson Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I much prefer the second wider FoV image - that is just fab! JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwm891 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Thanks James, The close-up is flipped left/right I forgot to tell Fits-Liberator not to flip images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawson Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 When you say the first is RGB, does that mean 300 seconds in R, 300 seconds in G, 300 seconds in B or something else? JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD James - 300s of each, rain stopped play after that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 looks like what you would expect a ufo to look like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyaardvark Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Ahh. That explains the 15 minutes. Super images. Amazed that can be done with such short exposure. What a wonderful target the sombrero makes. I would not have known it would be doable in an 8inch or 115mm. What focal lengths do they have? These just make me want to get started. Thanks for sharing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwm891 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Hi Steve, The 8-inch RC is f8 and 1624mm fl. The 115 EDT-APO is f7 and 805mm fl. The RC has an Atik383L+mono camera binned 2x2 and the 115 has a full frame DSLR mounted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I reckon your RC will get a good workout as the season starts good start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
