The image was taken with a Takahashi E-160 (f/3.3) astrograph aboard an AP-1200GTO. The camera was an SXV-H9, and the exposure was 5 x 20 minutes via a 6 nm FWHM H-a filter. Guiding with an MX-716 and NP-101. There was a moon, but light pollution has no affect whatsoever on a narrow-band H-a filter.

Thank you for visiting my site.

Clear skies,

Wonderful shot Dennis. Those SXV-H9 cameras are really good.

Absolutely fabulous image: best I have seen with an E160. Great scope, camera, and mount combo. Now I see what can be done with my E160 I can't wait for my 'Processing Genius' vitamin supplements to arrivesmile Oh how I wish.

Best,

Dan
