AvdH Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Last night I put my new pillar with the special designed quick coupler (made by Herman ten Haaf) to the test. I did a pole alignment last week using Sharpcap and took everything off and repositioned the mount 2 times this week. Both times I had a polar alignment within 1' (1 arcminute) without doing an alignment (checked with sharpcap). I'm very happy with this. Last night this resulted in a guiding rms of less then 0,6" on both axes and so I could get very nice and small round stars. This image is a first result of only 6x900s Ha (5nm astrodon) because of incoming clouds using my TMB92ss and QSI583ws. But it is already promising and a nice target for the coming time to get more data. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApophisAstros Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 You and me both last night tested out my new Oiii 3.5nm(baader), on Tulip with Ha as well , Ha 3.5nm(baader) 900s Oiii 3.5nm 900s , with my old 7nm Oiii i would not have got anything like this. Yours is cracking by the way. Guiding was a bit rocky but stayed on guidsatr for 4 hours. I like your Ha a lot, roger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvdH Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 Nice! It's a nice object to image. You should try to get the x-1 shockwave. Should be visible 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
