Some prawning from last night.
Nice and warm last night so dusted off the hyperstar and went out to play a bit. Did 4 panels in Ha around the prawn 5x5min. Might try to extend it towards the 'wolf' nebula tonight if I get a chance.
Big one
here .[full field]. Collimation didn't move much since I last touched it so that was a pleasant surprise. Ordered a spacer for the camera though. The QHY9 back focus is different from my QHY8 so to get a perfect flat field I'll need to sort that out.
Thanks for looking.
PS: Added a couple more.
The wolf Nebula, 2 panels 10x5min. Big one
here .
and
The Dark Tower, 2 panels 10x5min. Big one
here .
and
The Swan, 2 panels 10x5min. Big one
here .

Marc,
The Ha with hyperstar certainly brings out the background nebulosity nicely. Great to look at - and only 5x5 to boot!

Unreasonable imaging, aka gunshot imaging.

Doesn't take long to do cool mosaics with the hyperstar.

Very nice, Marc! I'm becoming a big fan of B&W H-alpha images.

Star images look a little wonky in places (meeeah who cares) but the nebulosity depth is great

Too right. Focus shifted a little but I kept shooting. By the time I was on the swan it was out.
