Widefields - Centaurus and Rho Ophiuchi

[rmuhlack (Richard)]

I have recently sourced a mono CCD and filters, and so these will be my last widefields for a while - I will shortly be listing the DSLR and lens for sale to help finance the new purchase.

Both these images were captured over the past weekend from my home obs. Mount used here was a HEQ5, automation with SGPro and processing with Pixinsight

Lovely colours in the Rho/ Op shot Richard. It will almost be a shame to see you leave the DSLR scene, but know you will be awesome with a CCD!

Nice images, Richard. Look forward to your CCD stuff!

Great looking widefield photos Richard.

I love the Centaurus one.
