The Matter of the Heart

Meade SN-10 @ F4 with Clement Bellorophon III. Atik 16HR. AP1200 GTO. Van Slyke Taregetron OAG with Atik16ic for guide camera.

125 min (25x5)HA 4.5nm CS filter binned 2x2
125 min (25x5)OIII 4.5nm CS filter binned 2x2

RGB (HA:50%HA/50%OIII shocked

III)

Acquired, guided and averaged in AstroArt4.0. Processed in Nebulosity. No darks, no flats, no bias frames. Love my Sony chip 8) . 125% Bicubic resize.

Boy, binning 2x2 turns this set-up into a signal devouring machine!

Enjoy,

A galactic feast

Posted By David Tasch

I finally got off my duff and traveled to dark skies the past couple of weekends to image. Here's the first of many galaxies I captured. All shots with the Meade SN-10, Atik16HR, AP1200. Each photo represents 45-60 minutes of exposure captured in 4-5 min subs. Averaged, gradient removal, digital development and stretched all in AstroArt 4.0.

Enjoy,
