The Sun

Posted By Ralph Encarnacion
Took this a few days ago with my new modified straight through BF-15, SM90 filter, Meade 6.3 focal reducer AP-130 and SXV-H9. Not much was happening on the Sun that day so I just did a surface shot.

M45 through my finder scope.

Posted By Ralph Encarnacion
I shot this M45 through my finder scope. I have the worlds best finder scope, a Tak FS-60C. Since I can't afford a big chip camera, I had to do the next best thing and just use a wider field scope with my SXV-H9. I used a Meade 6.3 focal reducer on the back of the Tak to get M45 to fit on the small chip. 10 luminance shots and 5 shots with each RGB filter.

The Horsehead, in H-Ralpha

Posted By Ralph Encarnacion
I took this Horsehead shot the same night I shot the M45 shot. I only took 5 shots and didn't have time to get any color shots of it since I still had to drive back home. I just moved the camera from the FS-60C to my main imaging scope and used the FS-60C to guide through. The shot was taken through my AP-130F/6 with a Meade 6.3 focal reducer and an SXV-H9 camera and my Schuller H-Ralpha filter. 5 shots each 10 minutes long.
