Partial Rosette in Ha

Hi,

Took this last night under a full moon with a Ha filter.

I just wanted to see what it would be like to image under a full moon. I couldn't choose targets too close as it was causing gradients.

Still need to tweak my collimation to fix the teardrop stars, but happy with the tracking and the lodestar. very reliable.

I'm so missing the real estate on the qhy8 chips. this kaf8300 chip is so much smaller. I might experiment with a focal reducer, only other option is to do mosaics which I'll attempt tonight.

Comments welcome.

8 x 8 min Ha (7nm)
SBIG STF8300M
OAG, 10inchF4

Cheers
Alistair
