Running Chook to Carina

[nebulosity.]

G'day everyone.

You are probably all pretty sick of this region by now but I couldn't help myself the other morning while out imaging and had to do a quicky. :thumbsup:

One of my favourite parts of the sky. :D

Also, this was a test to see whether a 'different to normal' Ha improvement mod worked that I did the other day. And I reckon it did aye, so I'm pretty happy. :thumbsup:

Anyway, this here is 28x 1min subs with the old 350D and 85mm. ISO 1600 no darks, flats, or biases.

Largerer Here (http://astrob.in/full/132789/0/) :D

PS, sorry about all the CA! I'll use 5.6 next time.

Nice one Jo. :thumbsup:

[LightningNZ]

Pretty impressive stuff. What was you "different to normal" mod?

[SimmoW]

That's a great wide angle, well done. And yes, share your Ha tricks?!

[cometcatcher]

A light yellow filter would be one way to fight the CA.

[Camelopardalis]

Looks great to me, well done Jo :thumbsup:

Thanks Rex, Kevin, Cam Simon and Dunk! :thumbsup:

Glad you liked it, you can find out more about the camera mod in this thread, Alternative Way to Mod your Dslr (no glass removed) (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=125378)

It appears to be not quite as an effective as a usual mod is at letting in the Ha, letting if only about half as much. But still, that suits me well, as I am getting a little of that extra Ha colour and detail without terribly mucking up the colours.

Cheers
Jo
