Jewel of the southern skies

Carina of course

First light test with very little data, it was more to test of few new things.

New camera, new scope, and new filter adapters I designed and made up to allow 31mm filters to be used in conjunction with an ASI2600MM without noticeable vignetting.

I'm actually going to start designing and printing things for people like these adapters, bahtinov masks, custom designed things (for a cost as time isnt infiniite after all).

Upshot is, this is a slightly-out-of-focus Carina, but a successful first light in many ways with a few tweaks to come to really dial this setup in, lock it down and call it 'my goto rig' for at least a year without changing things (fingers crossed).

[edit: reprocessed just now and found the focus I thought I had]


Taken Tuesday night, up till 4:30am and still paying the price.
EQ6r Pro, ASI2600MM Pro, ZWO 36mm EFW, 31mm Astrodon 3nm filters, Skywatcher Quattro 10", ASIAir Pro.
12x6minute Ha, 6x6min Oiii, 6x6min Sii all gain 100 @ -10degrees.
3x60s R,G,B gain 0 @ -10 degrees.
