My Star Queen

[DaveNZ (Dave)]

Ha data collected from home so far with my newish 12" scope and litecrawler focuser. 3hrs of 10 minute Ha subs @ f4

Im now working on SII 3nm which is looking rather dim compared to the Ha.

Cheers Dave

Thanks Jeff.

Ha, SII, OIII and RGB stars is the plan. SII seems to work well with the Easter full moon along with a few Easter eggs

Beautiful rendition Dave.

[RickS (Rick)]

Great detail, Dave. Look forward to the full NB treatment...

[multiweb (Marc)]

Nicely done. Good contrast, depth and details.

[Placidus (Mike and Trish)]

Dave, that's an amazing result for the time and aperture. Nicely processed. Well done.

[Ryderscope (Rodney)]

Nice one Dave. Keep the data coming

That looks pretty good so far Dave. The 12" looks to be settled now. How are you finding the Litecrawler? I have my Nitecrawler going ok. It does take a while to rotate though. Focus seems quite repeatable though.

The scope is now working quite well, there is some tilt that I need to deal with but it is not bad. Perhaps the next full moon.

The Litecrawler is working well and yes the rotation is slow. I did notice last week the focus position had moved in about 1500 steps. This may have been due to removing the camera and reinstalling it a day later which had pushed the focusing tube in slightly. A re-calibrate fixed this.
