Popular Post Carastro Posted March 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) Mainly taken with Esprit100 and 0.79 focal reducer/Atik460EX on HEQ5 However it was almost a full Moon and I didn't get a lot of Oiii and Sii and no clear skies forecast in the near future, so I utilised some Oiii and Sii from 2014 done with my WOZS71 and Atik383L, this increased the Oiii from 40mins to 2 hours, and the Sii from 40mins to 1 1/2 hours. Ha entirely from the Esprit/460 Ha 12 x 600 (2h) Ha 8 x 900 (2h) Ha 3 x 600 binned x 3 (error!! but decided to combine it). 30mins Total Ha 4 1/2 hours. Oiii with Esprit/460 8 x 300 binned 40mins Oiii with WO/383 9 x 600 Total Oiii 2 hours Sii Esprit/460 8 x 300 binned 40mins Sii WO/383 5 x 600 50mins Total Sii 1 1/2 hours Total imaging time 8 hours Edited March 11, 2021 by Carastro 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstronomyUkraine Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Looking good Carole. You finally got some decent imaging time with the Esprit. Brian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobdlbug Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 lots of good colour in there Carole - I personally think when presenting an image in SHO then green should be there and you have a subtle hue on the OIII - ha boundary.

TerryMcK Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Fantastic image Carole. I like how you have added some data from previous older sessions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, but it you read the text, I "borrowed" some Oiii and Sii from an image in 2014 to add to the little I got with the Esprit as I ran out of clear skies.

Carastro Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 Thanks Terry, yes it only worked because the FOV was larger in the previous image. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I read that, but your 40 minutes of OIII and SII, is decent imaging time after the winter you've had. 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P Holdsworth Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Lovely image Carole and to me a good way of building up the integration time . I've decided to keep all my subs from my first year in astrophotography so I can build up the integration time on some of the targets later this year. Seems like a decent strategy given the poor weather for long periods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
