Proxima Centauri with IR
SPX350 F12.7, Mintron12V6 (GStar-Ex), Astrodon RGB+IR742nm filters.
Just had to have a quick go at this 5mins in each filter at 2.56sec exposure. Took a while to find this using images from internet as my planetarium did not show this close moving stellar object. As I am from the UK just wanted a quick image for my records while the Moon was up.
Found the IR which I had already in filterwheel from imaging Saturn gave a much stronger Proxima signal and better star colour generally.
Image1-IRGB.
Image2-RGB.
RA 14h 29 37.
Dec -62 40 42.
Proxima is 2.2 degrees from Alpha Centauri a double I imaged with the Flea3 a few nights earlier.
Thanks, John.
