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 has taken a while to do because of the current storm system that has been affecting the UK. It was taken over 5 nights over the last six weeks or so and consists of 24x10 minutes Ha, 18x10 minutes OIII and 24x10 minutes SII taken with the Televue NP127is/FLI imaging system that I've been testing. The SII and half of the OIII was taken under far from ideal conditions with a three quarter moon close by and some thin mist towards the end of the session. The system is mounted on my Paramount ME with auto guiding taken care of by an Officine Stellare Falco guide scope and Starlight Xpress lodestar with dithering.
I have had a few goes at this in the past in both Ha and colour, these can be seen on my website http://www.imagingtheheavens.co.uk

Thanks for looking
Best wishes
