That detail is there in your image but painfully diminished. Whats the difference in capture?
Are you going to give this a poke in NB on your new toy? |
Hi Fred,
Neil's image is fantastic ( as I recall he used a TMB 205 or 225mm refractor) but that's the Veil Nebula - that's a northern hemisphere target. Mine is the Vela SNR which is near Suhail near the south pole. I assume you mean it is the same sort of target?
Yes but I think the Veil is a lot brighter than Vela but point taken it can be brighter if I did 40 hours like Neil did.
I took this one also with the BRC which I was happy with and it is more detailed. I personally find O111 Ha LRGB to be a formula I like more than straight S11 Ha O111. S11 is such a slow filter that has so little data on it.
But some objects it suits.
Yes I have imaged Vela with both the Tak BRC and the TEC180. The BRC shot was the better as it had more exposure and more filters using
O111 Ha LRGB.
I've imaged this area now about 6 times with different scopes and not planning to do more at this stage but I might. AP140 with its F5.4 telecompressor and the U16M camera would make an ideal setup for it.A bit like a super FSQ.
Here it is:
