Hi all, one week so far on vacation and I only have 100 minutes of data with a full moon to share. Decided to try out my C9.25 for some longer focal length Ha shots. Played with my autoguiding parameters quite a bit to get my G11 to behave.

IC 5067 in Ha(6nm astrodon)
C9.25,C6.3 focal reducer
G11 Gemini
20x5min, ST-10XME.
I think this scope/camera combo could have potential. What do you think?

cheers,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

That looks excellent! Lots of details in there.
I think the combo has great potential for hi res images.

Very nice Jeff! That was my target last night as well, but with a much shorter focal length.
Cheers,
Tyler

Hi all,

I collected more data (40x 5 min)and reprocessed this image. Is it better now?

Pretty cool Jeff. I think the added data is a nice improvement over the first image.
