First time I've posted in this forum because I can't find the intermediate astrophotography forum

14x6 minutes Lights only, modded D5600 @ ISO400, Sharpstar 61edph, L-Enhance filter.

[Placidus (Mike and Trish)]

Excellent!

Tell us more. What is an L-enhance filter? It looks like it's selected out H-alpha.

Best,

The L-Enhance is a dual narrowish band filter made by Optolong, passing OIII and Ha, similar to the STC Duo filter. It's not as good as using separate filters but very convenient for casual imagers like myself

Look at all that nebulae!

A great first post.

Greg.

great work Tony love the contrast - get some flats and you'll be really humming along!

[casstony]

Thanks guys. Flats might happen one day, but I'm fairly obstinate about keeping things simple.

A nice casual image Tony, the HII regions have shown up well

Thanks Mike. I don't feel quite ready to play with the big boys, especially using a dslr and shortcut processing techniques, but I'm also worried about putting off beginners in the other forum - a dslr or intermediate astrophotography forum would be good.

I don't think it matters where you post it. Post it on both! An image is an image, always good to look at, you never know who it might interest and in what way

That's a big boy pic anyway. Beautiful.

[LostInSp_ce]

Another excellent image Tony. Well done!

[casstony]

Thanks guys. I think I'll post completed images here and works in progress in the beginners forum.
