I shot this in early July over several nights while debugging my eq8 mount setup. I had power and usb issues which caused some grief but they where my fault, not anything to do with the mount, it has been pretty good.
Very very tidy image. Love your NB colours Robin.
What sort of exposure times? I'm still struggling to get OIII and SII for my season rendering of this sucker.
Thanks Guys. It always seems that no matter how much data you get with this narrowband stuff you always feel like you need more. Weather put a stop to that in this instance
It's a bit of a mixture Rob, I was getting a feel for the mount so subs range from 10 to 20 minutes all binned x 1. I lost a lot due to focus shift in the steel tubed newt but I think I got a handle on that now too.
Yes shot from the back yard but did the O3 when the moon was down.
Robin, perusing over many of your previous images in your gallery, you've done some great images. This image however clearly shows you've taken your imaging to a new level. Stunning result depicting the field accurately with the reflection nebulosity (GN 16.34.3) around HD 331019 well presented - not easy in narrowband images of this area. Good display of the narrowband colour range too. You mention perhaps more of the SII burnt orange/yellow would be good but I suspect you've hit the right balance or as near to it in order to get such a visually pleasing result. Whatever you are doing, keep doing it. Its working well for you. Looking forward to more.
