M16

Posted By louie atalasidis

Well I shot this a few nights back using a WO 105ED triplet and a SXV-H9C. Exposures were 90sec x 39.Captured and aligned and stacked in AA3 and processed in PS7.
So far I found It a lot easier to image through the 4"apo and focuse seems easier as well.

Hi guy's

This is a shot I took the other night of M22 in sagittarius; exosures were only 60sec x 12 and I did shoot 30 but only 12 were usable. The seeing wasn't too hot but hey that's life I guess ! anyway we still get to practice our processing .

Cheers

Hi guys

This is a shot I took last weekend from a dark site,I used the ZS 105ED and a SXV-H9C on a G11 mount.
I used Astroart 3 for capture combined and aligned and PS for Post processing.
The exposures again were only short at 60sec x 18 and of cause all coments and advise is welcomed.

Posted By louie atalasidis

Hi all

Had a go at the Helix neb last night. Although It did get windy I decide that after spending two hours setting up I wasn't going home emty handed.
This was shot through a SXV-H9C and a WO 105 ED guided on a G11 mount and the exposures were 10min x 12.
All coments and advice welcomed!

NGC 253

Posted By louie atalasidis

Hello All !

Well decided to take a trip up the mountains last night and try and get some data on my chip.
It was cloudy for most of the night so I didn't manage much exposure but hey you live with what you get I guess.
Anyway his 10 minute x 4 of NGC253 shot with the SXV-H9C through a WO 105 apo @ f/6.3.
All comments and advice welcomed 8)

The Swan

Posted By louie atalasidis

Another short lived effort from last night on M17.
I shot 12 x 5 minute subs on this and then a 1 x 10min to see If the longer sub was better.
Now what I found at least to what I can see is that the 1 x 10min sub look better than the 12 x 5min even though the longer sub is noisier.
