FLI first light

[graham.hobart (Graham stevens)]

Hiya folks, finally have a small set to show for my FLI microline 8300 and Tak 85. This is only a short 7nm Ha (Baader filters) 30 mins but I'm excited by the potential! I did some other LRGB stuff as well but I am not posting that as it's M42!!!
I have had this camera for ages and only now got around to side lining my DSLR and starting to do LRGB etc.
This looks to be a good combo- baby Q and microcline 8300 and Sx FW.
Cheers for looking!

That's a good start Graham. Is this with a reducer of flattener? I would have thought the field of view was wider than what you have here. Did you crop?

[graham.hobart (Graham stevens)]

Hi ! Paul, yes it's cropped . It was only 30 mins of five min exp so I stretched the bejesus out of it and then cropped out most of the nasties. Also my flats were a bit weird . I moved the camera after shooting sky flats so I need to em all again . It's at native f, ? F5.5 ?
