Very nice...your H-alpha time 9 x 6 minutes for each frame of the mosaic?

Yep, great combo. It should be a winner.

Thanks for the comments, guys.

Here is another version of the 5-min subs, with the dark not as clipped. See the noise in the nebula proper?

Is this better?

Nice photos.

How do you like the 1001E chip? I have one of those in my AP6E, and it's not bad, except for a bit more dark current than newer chips.

Your 5" f/5 is pretty much the same as my Orion 120ST....you got some impressive detail, so I might have to try a combo like that with my equipment.

thanks for sharing!

It's not too often you see this much of the faint nebulosity.

Great job!

NGC 6888 - 18 x 10 min Ha

Nice shot....

With my old SBIG setup, the on-camera guiding was always trouble for me, even with my color filters, let alone narrowband.

I finally went to a separate guider.
