Australia first light
Hello Forumers, I emigrated here to Cleveland - Brisbane beginning of April and have now setup my rig after shipping finally arrived.
My scope is a Newtonian SPX350 from OrionOptics in the UK close to where I lived. They make scopes to the highest optical standards my scope is 1/10.5 wavefront, pity I can't match it with my skill.
I have been viewing this forum regularly for last 5 months and this site consistently produces higher quality images than the other sites in the UK. Many here have RC scopes and produce near professional quality images. I'm in AWE.
SPX350 + 2xPowermate, EQ6mod, Mintron12V6HC, Astrodon RGB/Astronomik UHC filters.
Just a quick image of part of the Triffid nebula I cannot see from the UK. The Mintron is the same camera as the GStar-Ex, very sensitive with 2.5sec exposures in 8bit.
UHC-RGB
783-100 137 100 2.5sec subs.
Crop compared to HST image of dust at the centre.
Thanks for looking, JohnH.
