Bubble 19 hours

Posted By Mark Keitel

I did the Ha in three different intervals, I was actually seeing what it looked like compared to each on time intervals,
Taken with 300m scope Fl/2348 F/5.8,
LOTS of camera time on this one, and over a month I acquired the information. The 600 and 480 Ha were taken at my home, the 1200 sec and the RGB were taken at Chiefland Star Party

Ha 24 x 600 sec
18 x 480 sec
8 x 1200 sec
R 48 x 225 sec
G 60 x 180 sec 2x
B 60 x 180 sec 2x

Best ocular arounf 18mm and widest FOV

Posted By Mark Keitel

I can not use a 2" ocular with one of my scopes and would like to have the widest FOV I can get with one in the 16mm-20mm range. Has to be flat to the edge, and looking for the best not meaning best for the money. Have a 24mm Panoptic now, have a 18mm Meade wide, had 19mm pans though the 19mm I had sold before I had gotten this scope. I liked them but before I buy them again I am cuious how some of the other oculars might be
FL/ 2348

Any suggestions on what you have used and found?

Thank you
