M17 HaLRBG

Post by cataclysm »

This was one of the longest imaging session without interuption from clouds. Spanning almost 5 hours, even with hazy sky and gibbous Moon, the final image really profited from the long integration time.

12x5min H-alpha, 8x1 min L, 13x3min Red, 11x3min Green, 11x3min Blue, Imaged with Televue Genesis SDF & DSI III Pro.

Wow, it is so life-like! The contrast and colour-depth is really good.

Did you image in Singapore?

Didn't know you have a Genesis. Would like to have a look at it! Call me la... want to see your imaging set-up again!

Hi all, thanks for the nice compliments.

Hi Gavin, yes it was image in Singapore, the same spot at the car park roof garden like before, will call you again if I am setting up. About the Genesis, yes one of my first love, it had not been out seeing starlight for a long while. A real predecessor of fast apos like TV NP 101 & Tak FSQ, I like its speed and flat field, but this 'old girl' is showing its age. You can see some CA (blue halos around the bright stars) on the pic. :)
