LMC with Bert's lens in hydrogen alpha light
Howdy
I turned Bert's magnificent 300mm f2.8 flourite lens onto the LMC last night. Weather was surprisingly good, because the noreaster didnt push in, the dry NW prevailed.
image is 3x10 mins ISO 200, IDAS uv/ir and Baader 7Nm Ha filters installed in back of Bert's 300mm f2.8 flourite lens. Image shot at F2.8, this lens doesnt need to be stopped down!
The fast sharp lens and the severe 4Nm filter works well to bring out even the fainter Ha emitting regions in the lmc. I still had to use the masking technique to stop the bright areas from burning out. I was happy to pick up the strange S shaped nebula in the middle of the LMC.
