Yep,NGC6888 Ha,OIII,OIII

Posted By Jason Boyce
Here's a version using an average of the Ha+OIII for the Green channel.

I think I actually like this one better,makes me want to get an SII filter though!

Hope you get some time and clear skies to collect RGB on this.

guide scope aids

Posted By Jason Boyce
Greg,
One thing to consider when using a seperate guide scope is flexure,you need to make sure the scope is solidly mounted with stable rings so it cannot move at all. This goes for the focuser and guide camera too,they must not move at all. Also the mirror in your imaging scope needs to be secure enough not to move around or you will end up with poor star shapes. It does work,I prefer to use a seperate guide scope because it makes finding guide stars easy. An off axis guider eliminates the flexure problems but it may be more difficult to find suitable guide stars,just depends on the size of your guide chip and focal length of your scope.

I would say use what you have now and see if you can make it work,if not go with plan B grin

Milky Way wide angle

Posted By Jason Boyce
Tyler,

Way cool!

I really like the perspective you shot it at,with the trees semi circling the Milky Way.

A beauty!

Two Sharpless objects -- one cool, one boring

Posted By Jason Boyce
Those are both beauties Tom!

82 makes for the prettier picture but I like 83 too with the faint reflection nebula and the Coathanger,it is an interesting image.
One thing for sure,that's a lot of stars in both images 8O

The Crescent in Ha-OIII-OIII from Utah

Posted By Jason Boyce
Tyler,

This may have been done many times but I for one never tire of seeing images of this. What's not to like about a big brain looking nebula? especially when it's so photogenic grin

I like your version very much.

But where's the color?

Posted By Jason Boyce
I happen to like Ha images too,
This looks good,you got some nice details for 80mm of aperture.
