3staraligned Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I had my first go at the tadpole nebula last night. I got 77x300s subs so about 6.5 hours data, 50 darks and bad pixel map. no flats.pretty happy up till ow, will try and get another 6.5 hours of oIII and 6.5 hours of S2. see if I can get this up to higher levels :)I tried dithering, but it was messing up my stars, unsure why, but to be honest, I don't think dithering would improve this image much. I need to shoot new darks though as these where shot at -10 and the subs at 0c.Gear used:Mount: Skywatcher EQ6-RPower: Pegasus Pocket Powerbox AdvancedScope: Altair Astro 125 EDF Doublet with Field FlattenerHeating: Altair Astro Dew StrapsMain imaging: Altair Astro Hypercam 183M Pro TECFilters: SX USB Filterwheel - H-alpha 6nm - SII 6nm - OIII 6nm - Altair Astro quad band filter (for another cam) - Altair Astro L-pro MAX FilterFocusser: Pegasus Focus Cube v2Guide Cam: Altair Astro 327 GPCAMGuide Scope: Altair Astro MG32Targeting Aid: Altair Astro Red Dot Finder 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carastro Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 The Tadpoles are showing really well, it's a tight FOV for the whole nebula. Are you planning any colour?Carole 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3staraligned Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 I had another go at editing. feel like its a little better now. @Carastro Yeah, planing on shooting OIII and SII when it clears up again :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkAR Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 The re-process looks even better. Less noise smoother overall and better definition in the tadpoles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
