NGC 6188 in Narrow Band with Atik 11002M

[Hagar (Doug)]

As usual the only clear nights here seem to be with a big moon. I decided to image NGC6188 using Narrow Band Filters.
Some repositioning of the flattener is required to fix a couple of star problems and a bit of tilt haven't been kind but they are things to work on again.

These are two variations on colour with the NB images.
Scope: RC8 with Takahashi Flattener.
Camera: Atik 11002M Mono camera
Filters: Baader Ha, OIII and SII filters in QHY2" filterwheel.
Subs: 1.5Hrs each colour in 15 minute subs fully calibrated.

Nicely done Doug

Nice shots, Doug. Green one seems to have a bit more zing to it, not quite a sharp looking and feels more natural but the red one is good, though

[John Hothersall]

Very nice result and reminds me of The Wall in the North American nebula. I prefer the red version myself.

Ok...what's this narrow band stuff Dougie???? thought you didn't like these filters from hell?

Looking good mate, I like'em both

Mike

[multiweb (Marc)]

Two very detailed shots Doug. Good stuff.

[DavidU (Dave)]

very noice Doug, I really like the green one.

[Hagar (Doug)]

Thanks for the kind comments Guy's.

Mike. It's all I can do with a big moon wiping out everything else. I am starting to appreciate the detail which can be extracted with the NB filters. At least I didn't just write it off without trial. RGB next time I get some good weather, I promise.

Two very nice images Doug.

I think the green version just has a bit more in it. It seems to jump out and grab your attention.

Cheers

Green for me Doug, Can almost feel the texture, nicely done!

[mill (Martin)]

Both look very good but the green one does it for me because it shows more/different detail

[CoolhandJo (Paul)]

I agree that the detail is very nice. I like Narrowband myself because you can get loads of detail without blowing out things - just like you did!

[TheDecepticon]

Hi Doug,

Love the narrow band. Your starting to do well with your new camera! Top stuff!

[Hagar (Doug)]

Thanks Guy's Warming to the green one a bit myself. It's known as a reverse HST pallet. The detail with NB is the big pick up with these filters and the ability to change the pallet to give best detail is also a big plus when imaging in fairly narrow light bands..

[Bassnut (Fred)]

Striking, different, excellent detail, top work Doug, a pleasure to view.

[spacezebra (Petra)]

Very dramatic effect in the red. Brilliant as always Doug.

Cheers Petra d.

Maybe the green one but it shows the stars a little pinkish but love em both. A bit of curvature there too but still awesome shots with huge detail.


Cheers Daniel.

Thanks Petra, Sorry I haven't been to the club of late. Work gets in the way each month lately.

Thanks Daniel, I think I have a problem with all the different connectors to run this big heavy camera and filter wheel on the little RC and am suffering some camera tilt I have to overcome.

[Paul Haese]

Interesting stuff Doug. Did you find any vignetting in the image with this camera and the RC8's narrow rear opening?

This image covers a huge field and I am happy to see that the stars are nice and small too. Think more about the STL11 if this is the case.
