MartinS Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 My first light with 50mm unmounted Antlia Ha,SII and OIII 3nm filters, taken 7th September. The seeing wasn’t bad and apart from a few high passing clouds the skies were clear. I am impressed with these new filters and was surprised how well the soap bubble is defined in the image. Setup: CFF160 + flattener, Qhy FW+ OAG, QHY600m, Loadstar x2, Mesu 200, SGP+Pixinsight. 16x 600s Ha, 13x 600s OIII & 5x 600s SII. Looking forward to trying these filters on more objects, skies permitting. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg M Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Beautiful. You just barely managed to grab the soap bubble in the frame! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinS Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 Thank you guys for your kind words of support. Coming up to my 5th anniversary for this hobby and I continue to be amazed at the technology which is readily available for amateurs astronomers today. These are truly the wonder years for Astrophotography, let’s hope it isn’t spoil with the advance of further broadband services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobdlbug Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) Your setup has really got the most out of the new Antlia filters - the detail around the crescent is fantastic the OII outer nebulosity is particularly impressive for just over 2hrs, your framing with the nebulosity around SADR gives the image a reference - as you probably gather I prefer a wider field and you have struck a great balance between ultra close ups and a ultra wide. Really like your image. Bryan Edited September 17, 2021 by Astrobdlbug 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinS Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 Thanks Bryan, the Antlia filters are exciting and I am looking forward to getting more data when the skies allow. The pixinsight image is far better but a little large for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
