Thanks for sharing !!!

Thanks Ian. I didn't expect to get such a result so it bodes well for a more serious effort.

I'm new to all this, just beginning to get my kit together. I will be using a D7100 for imaging. Hopefully narrowband imaging if my camera allows.

Did you use any filters, colour or narrowband? Is your camera modded?

Anyone can chime in on this one...I have an OIII and am looking at getting a Ha then SII...Can you get a result from an SII narrowband filter on a DSLR(without modding)?

Cheers,

NB

Thanks for your comments Nathan.

I did not use any filters and the camera is not modded. It's just my everyday DSLR that I reluctantly take the lens off to attach it to the telescope. (Reluctantly due to the risk of getting dust on the sensor.) I always try to minimise the time that the camera is 'open'.

I don't see why filters wouldn't work, although I guess the required exposure times would increase, especially if you used NB. Without the mod to extend the sensor's sensitivity towards the red end of the spectrum, the Ha filter might not provide much joy.
