Nice set of subs anyhow! are you planning to put some colour to them? or are they traditional b&w |
Thanks Brendan. Yeah S||t happens
Would love to do some color but I need two things.
A) Dark site
B) No clouds and new moon
Maybe pushing it.

I had a great couple of nights out at Leyburn this weekend. It was amazingly clear for November in SEQ, but this is an extended dry spell for this time of year. Over the two nights, I shot 3 hrs of RGB before moonrise and then 5hrs of Ha before dawn on Rosette at 600mm focal length - tight squeeze on an 8300 chip! I did capture an hour of Luminence, but will have to add to that later in the season. Hopefully I'll get a chance to process it this week, but pretty happy with the Ha subs straight out of the camera.

Thanks David. I'm looking forward to do Monoceros too (Rosette + Cone nebula). I'm pretty sure you can fit them both in one frame with a 100mm or 50mm for sure. But it's much fainter than Orion. RGB from a dark site for sure and 15min subs minimum.
