First H-alpha with ST-7E

Finally got some time to play with my new toy, the ST-7E. I have the CFW-8A with Astrodon -E filters, and will post some color when I can.

Here is the first H-alpha shot with the ST-7E. Astronomik 13nm filter used, in the CFW-8A.

Taken with the 14" SCT, at 6.3 FR.

5 x 3 min., binned 2x2 (to help my image scale; self-guiding wasn't cooperating at full resolution due to mount drive backlash and such). Acquired and stacked in Maxim, processed in PS.

The automatic filter wheel is really nifty, and I like the quality of the ST-7E. A bit of a change from the Starshoot, DSI Pro, and MX716 I have used in the past.

Clear skies,

Keith

Nice shot! I think you'll love the ST-7. SBIG cameras are top notch.
