Fred! Dude, you’ve been awfully quite lately (no posts). What’s happening? I wait with abated breath for a “killer” image magnificently tracked with the new Paramount ME of yours.
Thanks for the comments.
The journey is still young – much to learn and experiment. I've had positive comments on my images from the SBIG yahoo group, so I guess I'm heading in the right direction (you may have seen the posts). Indeed, longer subs is the way forward when using the NABG chip such as the KAI-11000M. I currently use 15 to 20min subs for luminance work and 10min subs for chrominance, but depends on the target. Getting fair results with this camera/filter/scope combination. I’m doing some mosaic work at the moment which I’m finding challenging/time consuming. Might also investigate combining the best data from multiple focal length instruments, i.e. a wide field view from the FSQ coupled with data from a longer focal length targeting specific objects in the frame. Reached a plateau? Nah, very far from it.
