First DSO in Singapore: NGC6823/NGC6820

CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

First DSO in Singapore: NGC6823/NGC6820

Post by cytan299 »

Hi everyone,
I was finally able to set up everything (FSQ106, Mach1GTO, ASI2600MC, NBZ filter) in my yard and do PA correctly to take my first photo in Singapore. Unfortunately, I only managed to get 5 hours 2 min worth of data over two nights (02 Sep 2024 and 05 Sep 2024). These photos were taken using the NBZ duo narrowband filter. They are not the best photos of NGC6823/NGC6820, but it's my first here. I'd like to thank everybody who helped me get the information as to how to do AP in Singapore. In fact, there's a lot to learn about how to judge whether there'll be a "clear" night here because the weather reports are nearly always pathetically wrong.

Anyway, here's the photos. Reduced in size due to posting restrictions.
