Greg M Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) This first image of M8 The Lagoon Nebula is an Ha only shot from my Bortle 8 backyard. Explore Scientific ED127mm APO, ZWO 1600mm camera, Baader Filters, CGX Mount, Captured using NINA, Processed with Astro Pixel Processor. 30x 60second exposures Ha filter only. Colorized in Photoshop This shot of M20 the Trifid Nebula was shot from a Bortle 4 location about 45 minutes south of my home. Explore Scientific ED127mm scope, ZWO ASI1600mm cooled camera, Baader LRGB Filters 60x 1minute Luminance 30x 1minute ea RGB Total Integration time: 2hrs30min. Processed with Astro Pixel Processor, tweaked in PhotoshopCC As I transition into the summer imaging season I've switched out my rig to my smaller StellarVue SV70T so with the focal reducer at 336mm fl I should be able to image both of these beauties in the same frame. At least that's the plan. Edited May 27, 2021 by Greg M 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg M Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 I know this doesn't compete with Peter's image of M20 but I'm happy with it considering my entire imaging setup probably cost less than his filter set. Plus, I don't have his processing skills either. 😃😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmot Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Both those images are great, but in particular the second as the background is superb with so many stars showing. Thanks for sharing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padraic M Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I'd be very happy with either of those shots! Plenty of detail and wispy dust showing through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
