Hi all,
Finally saw a clear night last Friday
This was going to be my first ha image but it was not to be.
It took me a bit of time to find and center this,I spent some time trying to get good guiding through the 6nm filter and got frustrated to the point where I decided to just shoot LRGB before it got to late.
I think I will need to go with a seperate guidecam or get lucky with a very bright guidestar in just the right place to shoot ha.I will try again and see if I can get the mount to cooperate.
Here is the image and some details,taken at prime focus of a Stellarvue SV80L piggyback on my VC200L on a G-11.
90 minutes Luminance and 45 minute each of RGB with the Red binned 2x2
All 3 minutes long,nowhere near long enough for this dim nebula as I did not pick up a lot of it
Thanks for looking,your critiques are always welcome,
Jason
