Horsehead Ha added

I discovered a couple of weeks ago that the "Ha" filter in my camera was in fact the S11 filter (they look sooo much alike - the Ha filter when held up to a torch light or bright light is a similar shade of red but much lighter).

No wonder the 7:15 hours of "Ha" turned out relatively dim.

So I shot 1:50 hours of Ha the other night and it was fine.

So I have added this to my Horsehead image. It must be the only one around that has over 7 hours of S11 data in it!

I plan on taking even more clear and RGB data on this next trip to top it off as I have invested over 17 hours of exposure time in this one now.

TEC180 fluorite, FLI Microline 8300, Baader clear filter, Astronomik RGB, Astrodon Ha, S11 5nm filters, Tak NJP mount.

Greg.
