It seems M20 is currently a popular target. Here is an image I took on July 1 that may become part of a colour image eventually. Details are TOA-130 telescope, Starlight Xpress SXV-H9 camera with 7 nm Baader Ha filter and four 10-minute exposures. Processing MaxIm and Photoshop.
Good start Max onec some Lum and/or RGB is added the image will; balance out nicely.
Aren't those Starlightxpress SXV-H9's just magic cameras? Highly sensitive and no darks are necessary and with your scope (as with mine) no flats either huh? Imaging for dummies I used to call it (well at least in my case )
Mine is a guide camera now as I use an FLI ProLine with a 35mm size chip in it (was a shock moving up ).
Yes, the SXV-H9 is a terrific camera. I have had mine since 2003 and don't intend to part with it. I use it for small objects and my STL 11k for extended objects. The SXV is much more sensitive (flats only half the exposure for the same brightness - needed to get rid of dust shadows) and as you say, no darks needed.
Also, for those who have mentioned Qld Astrofest, I will be there.
