Dear all, after about half a year of rainning days, I had a chance to image again.

You may have got the rain Fernando but you also brought the quality. Fantastic image! Well done.

Great shot, Fernando! Nice pinpoint stars and plenty of detail. I have the same camera (brand new, bought late last year) which I used once in March and all I got was dew which ruined my Eta Carinae subs. Since then, I have only used my DSLR. The ASI071's dewing problem was supposed to have been corrected....

A really nice image. Well done.

Thank you all for your comments. When I finished processing in Pixinsight, I got a feeling that the image was "too red", due to the L-Enhancer filter. But after awhile, I got used to it.

Hi Richard,


Thanks for your comment. Sorry about hearing your issues with the ZWO071. I guess you did return it? I got mine about the same time as yours, second half of last year. I had no dew issues. And I am in an area with high air humidity. What I did, from day one, was to keep the camera inside a container while not imaging (see the attached picture). It has a tight lid and inside I keep like 10 - 15 dissecant bags. From time to time, like one week, I dry the bags for 2 minutes in the microwave (actually, I got a 100 dissecant larger bag). I learnt this from someone in Cloudy Nights. Maybe was this, maybe just luck..



I hope it helps, regards, Fernando

Excellent Image, Fernando!

I don't think it is too red, there's just a lot of hydrogen glowing and I think you've done a good job capturing it!
Even in the surrounds of M8, you can see the faint red glow with a slight cloudy whispiness to it.

Well done!

Hi Sal,


Thanks!!! After dealing/fighting with SW AZGT, Atlas Pro, a couple of years ago I decide to have a decent mount. Sold both mounts and got one of the last brand new Mach1. Expensive but I decided that life is short, too. And Life is better since.
