Narrow Band under the Moon

Posted By Maciej Kapkowski

Nice picture Floyd!
Using good quality narrowband filter you can shoot with the Moon smile

. A lot of my narrowband images published here were done beacuse it was just a good weather ( not looking for the moonlight polution). Gradients are of course big challenge, specially with full frame chips like mine. LRGB is anoher issue- I never try to shoot LRGB with Moon bigger than 1/4.

Orion in the Dust

Jim, fantastic image. I started M 42 last year but weather... I think i will finish this year smile

.
I am using FSQ 106 N with STL 11000 around two years and that is absolutely fantastic setup. Changes of focus are really dramatic when temperature is dropping down but I have Robofocus so it is not so time consuming process.
I will not change FSQ for something else. Great astrograph, for me no.1 in 4 inch class!

Nice job Jim, I like processing and colours! I MAY have FSQ for sale if the tests with new astrograph I am currently doing will be positive ...and what is interesting in my opinion FSQ optics s producing such reflection.. When I made widefield of NGC 7000 I had reflection from Deneb!
