Sheila Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Well had to leave the ghost of Cepheus as its a bit too light for LRGB now, it will have to wait till it gets a bit darker for longer. Switched to Ha for this target. Only got 7 x 900s Ha so far so a long way to go with Ha and then Oiii and Sii Tak 130 extended @1.5m FL F ... you dont want to know F12.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xanthic Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Nice start. How much data do you think you'll need on the Ha? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 well was thinking about 7 hours Ha and probably 4 hours each of Oiii and Sii, but until i try the other two i am unsure how much i will need, may need 7-8 hours of each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest peter shah Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Great work Sheila the last rendition is my favourite process, it has better contrast without losing any of the detail in the shadows or highlights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest northernstar Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I look at these pics that people post on here and think they look soooo fantastic! I then read the tech parts and think it must be in a different language as I have no idea what it all means. I think I need to buy a book or something if I ever want to try photography.

Guest northernstar Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Thanks, I don't understand any of it yet. I will invest in a book first to try and understand the basics, then ask for advice on the stuff I don't get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha 4 hours, Oii 4 hours Sii 3 hours, 600s subs. tak 130 extended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glider Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 So what do you think, 2 more hours of OIII and 5 more hours of SII? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 probably double on both really. Sii is strong, as is Ha but the Oiii is very weak. maybe a lot more of Oiii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
