Starfire Finale

[Stevec35 (Steve)]

Not too bad at all for a short one Mike. Good luck with the new scope.

Small bit of nitpicking - I thought IC4603 was in Ophiuchus.

Cheers

As you would have noticed some noise was left in the image, mainly so as not to destroy the resolution. The seeing was quite good and the subs were just so sharp I wish I had had time to gather much more data .

It was like she knew I was going to put her out to pasture ...considering this is an LRGB ie no tiny Ha stars nor any decon or star shrinking, the star images in this shot (10min subs for Lum) are testament to the capabilities of the Starfire working at its best and will require the AG12 to perform perfectly to get close to matching them I recon

How much mucking around will it be if you suffer withdrawal and want to whip the starfire out for an imaging run now Mike?

Unfortunately, a reasonable pain in the R's...but certainly doable .

I would hope to use the AG12 for a while... until I can get another mount for the Starfire (maybe use it for visual?) and then hopefully another camera at some stage so I can do simultaneous Lum and RGB imaging of the same subject, ahhh that would be good ...but that would be pushing the portability scenario to the limit
