Tarantula 20 min Ha

[traveller (Bo)]

Thought I have a go at narrowband imaging.
Only managed to get 2x10 min subs in Ha before SGP stopped working (I think I resolved it now).
A quick stack and a gentle stretch.
ASI1600mm and WO FLT 110 with 0.8 reducer/flattener.
Still some star distortion towards the left hand side of the image, I think it's tilt, but others may know more.
Aim to get more data soon.
Thanks

You’ve got the nebulosity showing nicely Bo, only so much you can do with 20 minutes of Ha but it’s looking good so far.

[Placidus (Mike and Trish)]

Aye, looking very good.

Very good two 10min subs stars are bit out could be your distance spacing
field reducer flatterner check if your spacing is right BO.

Thanks Colin, still learning the ropes with SGP and the camera controls.

Thanks M&T. Not a bad start, but need more practice.

Thanks Martin,
I decided to start all over again with the focusing (I am only doing manual focusing for now). I have completed 60 mins in each filter, will process them shortly!

Good one Bo, once you add to it, it will really pop and you will be able to streeeetch it out

great field Bo, and a really dramatic presentation with good detail.
Nicely done.
