Hi everyone !
It's been a long time since our last visit in your forum...
We missed you... but we're back ;)
Nothing has changed in our setup and it is working perfectly, almost 20 nights every month :thumbsup:
Here is IC2118, the Witch Head Nebula. This is a 2 pictures mosaic.
We have added some H-alpha because we thought it could be a good idea... and it was ! Actually, this part of the sky is full of Ha but we are not used to see the Witch with red. We are more used to bleu :question:
Ok, here are all technical informations:
- APO observatory in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile - Alain Maury's Space Obs
- Takahashi TOA 150 refractor
- mini-OHP mount with MCMT
- Apogee Alta U16M camera
- Astrodon L R G B Gen2 filters
- Ha=10x40' - L=24x20' and R=G=B=6x20' - everything x2
- shooting, guiding and preprocess: PRISM v9
- process: IRIS, PRISM v9 & CS6
Link to the picture in normal size: http://www.atacama-photographic-observatory.com/page_photo.php?id=25
And a must see: the full sized image !!
