Late Night Fun - Orion, Trifid, Lagoon, Sculptor

[johnnyt123]

Hi Guys.

I was up last night having fun testing a newly acquired QHY8.

Captured the following targets:

Orion Nebula 3 x 5min subs
Trifid Nebula 10 x 5min subs
Lagoon Nebula 10 x 5min subs
Sculptor Galaxy 4 x 5min subs

Data was scarce but i believe i made the most of the raw data i have.

Hope you enjoy them.

John.

For a first go with the new QHY8 well done.:thumbsup:

I bet you can can't wait for another night to push it further.

Hey Justin
It's not a bad little camera.
It has decent sensitivity.
I just need to gather a lot more data than I am use to with a mono ccd.
And I need to figure out how to make a star mask that won't allow stars to blow out when I do a stretch to bring out the faint detail.

Cheers.
