LRGB H alpha M20 first go
As mentioned in the other thread, first ever go with my Atik 314L+ mono, cooled at -20, Atik filter wheel, the early type so took some doing getting the Maxim Dl to use it in an autosave sequence. Astronomik filters LRGB and a cheap Orion H alpha.
Guided with PHD, SSAG and a modified finder, imaging scope is the venerable Tak TSA 120. No dew control so was pretty liquid after a while.
L/Ha to RGB was 3:1 ratio , basic 300 sec, to 100 sec lights.
I reckon I was going for nearly five hours but clouds and family took a chunk out of the final. First time processing in PS as well. I tried my hand earlier with Star Tools and they looked fab on my sony laptop. Transferred to my mac and they looked a might green.
Anyway, for your enjoyment, with some fine wine and cheese, and a classic album on headphones, is my first LRGB Ha piccie of the Trifid . Reduced version.
