M22

Posted By Jim Thommes

The image is lovely Charlie. At first I was puzzled by the comment that M22 was bigger than your FOV. Then I saw you were imaging with a 16" (albeit with the 0.63 reducer). The high-rez version is impressive.

1st Ha image, M27

Hi Robert,
Its a nice one. I also use a 13 nm filter. I see many others are using 6 and 4 nm emission line filters. I wonder if they yield better contrast?? I suspect they do but probably take a little more exposure time.
