I took this image of the Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635) last night with an imaging system that is fairly new to me. The scope needs collimation tweaked, but I am very happy with initial results.

10" DSO Certified Newtonian
Losmandy Titan mount
ST2000XM with KAI2020 sensor
100 minutes (10 x 10 minute subs)
h-alpha (Astronomics h-alpha filter)
unbinned

There's nothing to burst. Looks fine to me. Compare it to my HA bubble done with a 5" apo at

OK! POP!

Looks pretty darn good to me, Joe! Looks like those certified newts are doing very well as imagers!

Thanks for all of the kind words. I really am happy with this new Astrograph from Dale at DBA Astronomy. The Swayze mirror is fantastic as are the mechanics. Dale puts the effort in to make these ota's rock... not that my newly acquired Losmandy Titan is a slouch ;o)

Clear skies and Thanks again smile
