Horse's head found in the desert

Posted By Vincent Bert
Finally got out in the socal desert to do some imaging this past weekend. Although my camera is not very red sensitive this turned out better than I expected.

NGC 253

Despite poor seeing this turned out OK. I'll have to work on the color data next month.

I felt I got some pretty good L data for this one. Once again RGB will have to wait for next month

Horse and Flame with Borg 77ED

Posted By Vincent Bert
That little Borg is really a nice scope. I've bben using it as a guidscope and this was the first time I imaged with it.....looks like I'll be using it more. Imaged under the almost full Moon

Borg 77ED
GM 8
ST-2000XM
Astrodon 6nm Ha
18 X 20 min Ha
Guided by FS-102 and ST-237A

6 hours of data still isnt enough I think! I really need a camera with better red sensitivity for this type of stuff.

thanks for looking, Vince

Horsehead and Flame

Posted By Vincent Bert
Well this is my first attempt at RGB processing so take it easy on me 8) . Although I have some fairly good data I'm getting huge reflections in the blue channel which destroys an otherwise OK image. Its not from chromatic abberation in the OTA. There is something going on between the CCD cover slip, or cover glass and the filters. Not to sure if they can be processed out or not, especially the gigantic blue cloud around Zeta which turns purple when blended with the R. Thanks for looking, Vince

Used the Ha for Luminance at only 25% weight. To realize the full potential of the Ha without messing up the color I may have to try a blend of Ha+R for the red channel.

Flocking a C9.25

Posted By Vincent Bert
Anyone out there ever attempted to flock a carbon tube SCT? It looks like a pretty daunting task, lots of opportunities to mess up the optics. Any thoughts?
