Popular Post paulgrover68 Posted November 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2020 I had one of those nights where there was a break in the clouds. It lasted around 3 hours, so I decided to revisit NGC1499. This was the first image I shot on my refractor and stretched stars. I've eliminated them now (more or less!) so could go a little closer to the edge. Last light session really illustrated how small refractor is great tool when you need to setup quickly - My rigs not exactly grab and go, but I think I have setup time down to around 5 mins. I need to get some shorter cables to leave them in place rather than pluging everything in every time. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulgrover68 Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 Thank you - it was shot on the ZWO ASI294MC-pro. 240 seconds x 30 at unity gain with the L-eNhance filter. Although it was cold and I had to keep an eye on the clouds I really enjoyed last nights imaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstronomyUkraine Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Looking good for only 3 hours of data. I wouldn't mind getting an hours worth of data, not even seen a star for two weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulgrover68 Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 @AstronomyUkraine It's been like that here. It's been clear in the mornings, but over the day the clouds arrive and it starts raining. Thursday was supposed to overcast, but when the clear window opened I jumped on it. I could just do with a night where is stays clear from sunset to midnight so I can kickstart some winter projects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunset until 5am will do for me. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmack1 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Thats nicely done. Good texture in the clouds. I'm with you on the weather. Three weeks here without a star. Maybe 3 hours promised tonight but I'm not sure ill bother. With the DSLR 3 hours is hardly enough to be worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulB Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 That's nice Paul.It's on my list of targets. And I've just brought the same filter. It's for my modified Canon 600d.If I get as good an image as this. I'll be well chuffed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulgrover68 Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 @PaulB I absolutely love the L-enHance. It really has some black magic built into it. I actually still can't quite believe the images I have been getting since I started using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
