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
I managed to get some SII data last night to go with the other two channels from a week or so ago, there was a large patch of cloud that interupted the session for half an hour or so but luckily no more for the rest of the evening. This was taken with a FSQ106ED at f5, ML8300 and 5nm Ha, OIII and SII filters on a Paramount ME, auto guiding was taken care of by a lodestar and OAG using dithering.
Exposures are 6x30 minutes Ha, 8x30 minutes OIII and 9x30 minutes SII. These were then mapped using the wavelength ordered palette of SII:Ha:OIII = R:G:B
The full size image can be seen at the following link http://www.pbase.com/imaging_the_heaven ... 6/original
Thanks for looking
Best wishes
