M 81 & M 82

Posted By Maciej Kapkowski
Two well-known galaxies, but always fascinating...
Officina Stellare Veloce RH 200,STL 11k, EM-200. Total exposure 5,5h.
This was a test if typically widefield setup ( f=600 mm, f/3) can be used to shoot galaxy.
Enjoy!

M 16 in HST palette

Posted By Maciej Kapkowski
M 16 Eagle Nebula in Serpens is bright, but not easy to shoot because it is only about 20 degrees above horizon at my place.
This picture is showing a power of Officina Stellare Veloce RH 200. Thanks to it's F3 and 200 mm aperture subs were following: Ha: 6x 1200 sec , SII: 4x1200 sec and OIII 4x1200sec.
RH 200, STL 11000, EM-200.
