NGC 3132 Narrowband

[Ric]

Hi all, I captured this one the other night while enjoying the clear skies.

Captured with the LX200R 12" and DSI II Pro using the f/3.3 focal reducer and Astronomik NB filters.

Imaging was 15 seconds x 50 images each in Ha, OIII and SII and combined/processed using MaximDL

Cheers

Nice one Ric.

Yeah, planetaries! Cool! Wanna do a few of them too, very cool with the DSI and filters< can really bring them out.

[Matty P (Matt)]

Awesome capture Ric. Very nice indeed.

Great to see some more images from you.

[Ric]

Thanks guys I appreciate the kind words.

The NB filters were definitely of my better buys.

Hi Matt, It's been a while between drinks as they say with all my other commitment and the clouds but I'm hoping to have a better year this year.

Cheers

Nice NB Ric.
Small bugger though, any chance of dropping the f3.3?
Well done.

[multiweb (Marc)]

That looks great Ric. Small "bugger" indeed Nice colors.

[CoolhandJo (Paul)]

The green against the blackness pf space makes it stand out well even though its small! Great colours.

Yes, glad to see you back in to bat Ric !

This weather really slows everyone down.
Hope 2009 will get better for us.

Cheers.

[Ric]

Thanks all for the encouragement, it's always appreciated.

Hi Jeff, I can can alter the length of the DSI by adding or subtracting the extensions. That can then give me f5 or f10. I'll have to give them a try.

Cheers
