I had a my first go at narrowband imaging last night. This is 10 x 600 sec in Ha with the Atik 314L+ and SW ED80. It needs more subs (they always do!) but I'm fairly pleased with what was a test of the filter. Comments and advice welcome.

I captured some more data on 25/05/2014 taking this to 26 subs.

Impressive stuff.

I'm mostly impressed with 10 minute subs.

Well done.

Brilliant Leigh...really like the depth in it, it's almost ghostly how its 'emerging' from the surrounding nebula. Wallpaper stuff that  :).

Thanks all :)


 


Yes, definitely needs more data but I'm happy with the result for such a short session and quite chuffed the guiding was good enough to get 10 min subs. Keen to get some more done now :D

That looks really nice Leigh. Nicely framed with so much nebula, dark and bright, and rich in stars :)

If that's your first crack at it, then you should be well chuffed, it's very good. Nice one Leigh.

I captured some more data last night, taking the subs used to 26. Here's the result of the original data merged with the new -

Here's a quick adjustment. I hope it's a bit gentler on the eyes :)
