New Scope New Shot

[atalas]

Hi Guys

Well,Its a new RC12 from Bintel and a new shot with It but, certainly not a new object.

Hasn't been a totally problem free setup with main mirror movement,camera tilt(I hate tilt adjusting CCD's)and tweaking MX+ for the heavier load but I think It's starting to show some potential now.

Exposures: 5 hrs Ha

Object: Key Hole (NGC 3372)

Scope: RC 12

Camera: SXVR H16

Mount: MX+/guided ONAG

Software: SkyX Pro/AA5/CC

Ass Kicking Welcomed!

That is some exceptional resolution Louie! Nicely done :thumbsup:

[strongmanmike]

No arse kicking required Louie, looks pretty good to me, if that's just a test image, it's got lot's'a potential for sure :thumbsup:

I was shooting this (albeit with a sliiightly larger field of view :P) this morning too...finished the run on the current project and had a couple 'a hours up my sleeve, there was a 1/2 moon up but it was high and...well, meah..what tha heck..a big Ha field on the way:eyepop:

Looking forward to some more shots with ya new rig.

Thanks Col....Yeah going from the 10" to the 12" was nice Col



Thanks Mike...seeing was good for this one and so hopefully I'll get some decent colour too....might even look for some off the beaten track stuff...nah,maybe not :lol:




Ah yeah, I've heard of that lubricant....should do the job :lol:

Very schmick, Louie!

[bratislav]

Must have had some great seeing that night!

I was puzzled about the orientation though, something was just not right, I was sure God was left handed when he gave us that finger ... not on your image.
Then it dawned to me

You have an extra mirror in the setup! Will have to remember to do do an image flip at the end of the processing...

[Peter Ward]

As you say just a smidge of tuning to do, but nicely done, with very tidy resolution on the fickle finger and narrow field details. :thumbsup:

Looks pretty good to me for a first up shot

Oh so jealous of the sharpness and clarity. Superbly done.

[atalas]

Thanks Bratislav.



Thanks Peter....and that smidge is such a pain.....a man is measured by his smidge :lol:



Thanks Steve.



Thanks Mike....the seeing has been unusually good the last few nights...of cause the clouds love the good seeing too.

[Paul Haese]

I can't see any issues at all on this image Louie, looks good to me. The RC 12's rise to the occasion again. I look forward to your imaging with this scope.

Seeing everyone else is too polite

[gregbradley]

Off to a flying start. Have fun with your new scope.

Greg.

[atalas]

Thanks Paul...should be an interesting adventure.



:lol: a picture is worth a a thousand words!



Thanks Greg hope to mate....of cause my LP skies we limit me a bit.

[Andy01]

Well, that's a cracking start - looks like it's going to deliver some great images :)

[atalas]

Thanks Andy.

I'm cautiously optimistic at the moment with this setup under my skies, but we'll see where It goes.

[multiweb]

Seriously, it's a cool shot at that FL. Lots of potential. You'll have a lot of fun with it. :thumbsup:

Cheers big ears!
