Hi guys,

Here's my first in awhile grin

Suprised a little last night by clear skies!
It was a bit hazy so I shot Ha.

24x600s of the Bubble nebula.

This was my first automated image,boy is nice to focus throughout the night while sleeping!Still have a bit of work to do on focusing as it seems to miss just a bit.

Heres the image reduced to 55% and cropped around the edges a little.

6nm Ha filter

Thanks for looking,comments always appreciated.


Jason

Nice shot. Can you give details on your automation? Program? Did you shift to a brighter star or just use what was in the field? I use the @focus in CCDSoft, but sometimes I "disagree" with it's answer and re-do it to get something better.
