Hi,
What an amazing night "again" and thought I would share the results of my first ever experience using this scope but this time with the Eagle Claw Nebula
As I said before with Eta Carina posted yesterday its not mine but we have made friends with a colleague who has one and spent the early evening doing some remote telescope work.
The image is 5 x 2.5 Minute shots through a Hydrogen Alpha 4-5nM filter. It is not guided but I believe is on a paramount mount. No darks or anything and I think the camera is a SBIG 11000 mono. What an amazing piece of technology. The first image is about 50kb so you can see the field of view and the second about 180kb.
If you can offer advice on focus or anything that can help with this scope feel free.
