A truly beautiful image - congratulations! The tonal range is excellent and a very large number of stars for an Ha set. I'm sure you will add color to this so let us know!

In the meantime, I just took delivery of my first CCD camera ST2000XM. All I was able to do this morning was a single 5-minute exposure before the sun came up. CCD is not easy!

Time exposure on fixed tripod

Posted By Jose Suro
Hi Joe,

I have a number of tripod mounted constellation shots here:

http://web.tampabay.rr.com/jsuro/tripod_mounted_index.htm

All shots are 30 seconds between F3.5~F5.6 and 35~50mm. The last three images on the list were not tripod mounted. They were piggybacked on a wedge mounted NexStar 11.

M13 - color portion

Thanks James and Walter. I am using flats and weighed my shots as L1.5:R1.5:G1:B1 because as I understand it this camera's QE is lower in the red spectrum.

OUTSTANDING Mark! WTG! How long were the exposures? Did you guide with the built in guider and if so what were your settings for the guider?

IC 1318 in H-alpha

Posted By Jose Suro
Hi Johannes,

Another superb image. Congratulations! Very correct technically, with excellent tonal range and resolution. Did you use the in-camera guider? If so, how much longer are the guider exposures compared to a clear filter? I am considering getting an H-alpha filter for my camera..

NGC 6888 Tak FS-60c Wide FOV

Mark, a truly incredible shot! Congratulations! What's even more incredible is the 6 hour exposure in one night - considering that Cygnus is not higher than 30 degrees before 1:00am (at least in Florida). That's dedication smile.

Best,

Jose
