Had a couple of clear nights to image the Pelican region with the prominent cloud I call the Hammer. Subs were 15 minutes unguided on 3600 mount with 305 Honders astrograph
3 hours total exposure Baader H-a and OIII filters
SBIG ST10XE camera

As you all probably know by now, the 305 F3.8 Astrograph is in full production with prices listed on our website.

Hi Robert,
nice image!
Concerning your guiding problems, I know a company located in Rockford selling very good equatorial mounts and scopes. I had the opportunity to meet the guy in charge of the machining department a few months ago. They do impressive job there wink

Hi Robert,

that's a fine image, as a good friend said, the mount is essential.
You also have good optics, so...
I made a similar image with the same camera a few years ago with poor results, I should come back to this object.
Thanks for sharing,
regards,

Gilles
