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!
Hi
This is a work in progress and is the Ha data taken last night, it is 10x30 minutes Ha taken with the FSQ106ED at f5 and FLI ML8300, autoguiding was done by a lodestar and OAG using dithering on a Paramount ME. This is a crop of the main image to show the detail of the nebula. I have only ever shot one sub frame of this before over 3 years ago when I was trying a 20 minute unguided sub frame, this can be seen on the nebulae page of the image gallery on my website http://www.imagingtheheavens.co.uk for comparison. I am hoping to add some OIII and SII later this week.
A full size version of this crop can be seen at the following link http://www.pbase.com/imaging_the_heaven ... 7/original
It definitely looks like a monkeys head in profile!
Thanks for looking
Best wishes
Gordon
