Rho Ophiuchus/ Stl-11000m

[Phil]

Took this the other night with my STL-11000M on
NP101mm F/5.4. Ex. times 2x2 bin RGB 15minx2 and Ha
1x1 20min and clear 1x115min. Darks,flats taken for all frames. The seeing was not that great and my focus is a tiny bit off.

Very nice work Phil! Processing looks good.

It doesn't look too bad to me but fro what it's worth I always refocus every 30min when doing LHaRGB sequences, it pays to unless you have a temp compensating focuser..? even then I probably would anyway :P

I also started the imaging when this regain was low in the east and finished it high in the sky. The first channel i shot was the red and you can clearly see the different in shooting low in the sky to shooting high in the sky in the different channels.

A very nice and detailed image Phil. I like the way the blue nebula and the dark clouds combine to give a three dimensional effect.

When you mention "clear 1 x 115min" what type of filter is that or is it no filters at all.

Cheers

it is a IR clear filtter its like having no filter in front of the chip.
