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!
The RGB Lagoon is completed, but the alignment is not that good. After seeing what "Frank Sky Ghost" has done with a much larger astrograph, this pic really looks amateur-ish.
This is H alpha Lagoon of 1 hour from Punggai and 1 hour from Bintan. Notice the SNR is higher (of course) than the Punggai pic. Initially I wanted to do SII, OIII as well, but the fast moving clouds killed the attempt.
[80% Steve, 20% Alfred] ------- Probability of Clear Skies = (Age of newest equipment in days) / [(Number of observers) * (Total Aperture of all telescopes present in mm)]
The specs are the same as Punggai as I brought exactly the same equipment:
Scope: WO Megrez 80FD with FFI
Guidescope: ST 80
Camera: Atik 16HR
Guide cam: Orion Starshoot Autoguider / QHY5
Filters: Astronomik RGB, Baader H Alpha
