ZWO Carina

[diegocolonnello]

This was ment to be a test of my new Zwo 1600mm, cool
i shot this around 6:30 pm May 28...

because it was a test i decided to shoot 10 subs of only 60 seconds on each filter, i wanted to test my new colimation and the coma corrector spacing...

As a result the attached image, i am surprised with the sensitivity of the camera and how fast it is compared to the QHY9S.

this is a link of the Astrobin publication.

I hope you like it...

i used my 8 Inch F5 newt, eq6 mount and ZWO nb filters.

Looking good Diego :thumbsup:
Most of the "smeariness' of your past processing workflow seems to have diminished as well.
From my experience, this object needs a lot of S2 data to balance the palette as the core region is super rich in O2.
Pretty amazing for 30mins integration time - I wonder what it would like with a few nights dedicated to each filter?

Thanks Andy, i was really impressed with the end result, as i said i wanted to test everything and every sub impressed me, it needs more Sii, maybe i could shoot more sii to add on this data and see what happens?

Compared to the QHY9M, this files are way bigger with way more data in 1/3 the time on the same target, i had my ideas about this camera but after processing images from other APers, i decided to try i out, and this happened, never espected the Astrobin outcome....

I want to try on fainter targets and see what else i am capable of getting from this camera, i know that everyone has to be tired of Eta Carina all the time!!!!!

That's really nice Diego!
What Gain setting were you using for this one?

[diegocolonnello]

Unity Gain on the Ascom Driver

Nice work Diego. Looks like the new camera is a success and congratulations on having the Astrobin Image of the Day!

That's truly excellent, Diego. :eyepop: You must be thrilled.

Fantastic work. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

More hours would control the grittiness, but the sharpness, colour, and contrast are already spot on.

Nice one Diego, that's a cracker :thumbsup:

The 1600 mono is quite something :D

Yep, congrats Diego and welcome to the 1600 club! I can't wait to try my cam on my new 10 inch scope, your image is getting me drooling over the possibilities!
