m42 with Nikon D610

[Cosmic (Daniel)]

Hi team,

Excited to grab 1 hours worth of data still between clouds, distant lighting and 300% humidity.

I have had this camera a short time and I love the detail it pulls from the sea of darkness. Mind you a little upset we cant grab sensor temps on the Nikon cams, but I think my cold box is working well all said and done. (box temp of 10 degrees)

Thanks for viewing this image, still miles off where I want to be at. Given the little spare time I have, I'm glad I got my astro fix for now.

Clear skies to all!!

Great job. What kind of cold box are you using, and do you get any problem
with fogging up?

Really nice depth there Daniel, Deeper than anything Ive captured in this area so far, especially between Orion and the running man !!

Grouse going !

Just a custom made one Raymo, drops it down to around 10 degrees. Ill link a picture if I find it. I just ended up making a dew strap with resistors, seems to work a treat for the coma corrector cheers.

Thanks Bob, I was happy with the data considering the light pollution here My constant battle is good polar alignment and precise collimation.

Thanks Pat, all the equipment I use is a neq6 pro on a solid pier, newton 8 inch f5, BackyardNikon, Orion auto guilder/PHD, D610 Nikon, baader mpcc and custom made cooling box. Data all processed with pixinsight and only very basic knowledge of processing skills. http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/a...e.php?a=193772
