Hi again all!

Of cause we all know The Eagle and It's been done many times but for me this is my first Ha work.
I didn't get a chance to shoot the RGB for this before the clouds came over but managed a couple of hours in Ha so,I guess here begins a new journey for me.

Exposures were 15min x 8 and shot with a SXV-H9C using a 13nm Ha filter,through the ZS 66SD and guided with the ZS110 on an AP600E mount.

For larger image visit my site under Most Recent.

Hope you enjoy.

Louie,
Welcome to the wonderful (and forgiving) world of Ha. That's a great first! You will find that there is never more truth to the more data the better. You will also certainly have fun with that set-up on those big nebs out there.

Hi Louie,
This is one I never tire of looking at!
Congrats on your first ha shot,it looks great.Too bad those pesky clouds rolled in :C

I tried to shoot my first ha last night as well,I found that I will probably need to go with a seperate guidecam or get very lucky with a guidestar!

Nice shot smile
Jason
