Tarantula

sadia · #1 28-10-2009, 11:13 AM

I don't have a dark sky and the moon was up so did some captured some Ha on Tarantula.

Would like to add some more Ha and then complete with OIII and SII at some stage (probably another never ending project of mine)

All together:

1x 10min
3x 15min
3x 30min (planned to take 5 but cloud rolled in arround 3:40AM :-()

EQ6, EQMod
TSA102 with Reducer (probably undersampling slightly @2.63 ArcSec/Pix)
ED80 with OSSAG
QHY8 with Baader Ha Filter

At the moment didnt pay much attention to processing and will wait for more data before giving a proper processing try( Bias, Dark, Flat corrected and standard curve/level manipulation on CS3)

Regards
Sad

Sadia,

Fabulous amount of detail and clarity.

Just wonderful and can't wait to see the finished version.

The QHY8 and Ha looks to work better than I thought it would.
