First L(Ha)RGB and some galaxies
Had a ball on Monday night and finally recovered enough to have a go at processing my images. I was wondering how the QHY8 would go at 2x2 imaging of galaxies with my 5" ED APO refractor and how much I could get at 2x2 binning using a Lumicon Ha filter (Night Sky). Since the QHY8 was used with the IR filter in place this gives ~30-40nm effective Ha filte The moon was full bottle for the M42 shot (LRGB) colour shot native and L(Ha) done at 2x2 binning. I also photographed NGC253, NGC 613 and NGC1365 (plus companions) in moonlight and right into the light pollution of Brisbane.
Had an absolute ball as guiding was perfect after using Alignmaster. About 1 dec correction every 10 min. I need more depth to these shots but it was purely an experiment to see what happens with 2x2 binning(Nebulosity) and if I could do Ha and combine this with LRGB.
Comments welcome.
