Anyway, I've been slowly getting my gear together and built an observatory.
We had one somewhat clear night recently so I took advantage of it and went out to capture some data M42, The Orion nebula before it sets for the rest of the year.
Telescope mount used is a Parallax Instruments HD200
Imaging scope used is a Stellarvue 70T
Camera is a QHY183C, one shot color, 16mp, cooled camera.
This 160 sub frames exposed for 15 to 45 seconds each and then stack and processed. |
Some might say that's pretty good for backyard astronomy but day-um Eric that is just a great image, period! Do you have a dark sky? If not do you use a light filter?
