New Gear 1st Light Fighting Dragons

[Muzfox]

Well finally got all my new setup out and shooting. 1st Light results. Only ended up with 50 minutes per SHO channel. First time processing proper narrowband as well, I feel that the dust should have more colour. I plan to get a lot more data on this over the next week and learn more processing to boot lol. 2600mm pro with Antlia 3nm SHO filters, Askar 107phq scope at 749mm, EQ6-R pro autoguided. Processed in Pixinsight and photoshop.

First light? Wow, looks more like you've done hundreds of images already.

A beautiful image you can be proud of.

Forgot to mention, zero calibration frames used as well. Am still running darks but got impatient lol.

[AstroViking]

Astounding. That's just gorgeous.

If that was mine, I'd be considering an A0 print up on the wall...

Cheers,

very nice, but would love to see a big version.

[Muzfox]

When I get the final version I'll put that on Astrobin and link it for sure

Congrats on a wonderful result! +1 looking forward to the full sized final image!

1st light!. That's funny, we would all kill for that kind of 1st light ;).
That's a very good pic indeed, well done :thumbsup:. You need to get this up at full res on Astrobin.

[Muzfox]

I've put a better res version up on Astrobin as a work in progres.. This isn't full res tho, didn't have a copy saved down of that yet.

Great image Murray - the long awaited higher-res version is very good too! :thumbsup:

The hi res version is excellent !. Always post hi res links with that cam
