Veil NGC 6992 Narrow Band Images

Posted By Wayne Gay

Rob,

Nice images..
I am also trying my hand at narrowband imaging.. If you look at my version of ngc 6992 I am using the same palatte asignments as you and imaging with equal amounts of Ha, SII and OIII. This shot with 60 minutes of each, 15 minute subs..

TMSP this week!!

Posted By Wayne Gay

It would appear you will have a great one this year!! I wish I could be there, but my work is keeping me away this time. I have been going for about 4 years, and this will be my first missed one... sad
BTW, my Avatar picture was taken there last year!
Enjoy!!!

Giving a review for a purchase?

Posted By Wayne Gay

I would say wait, and when you do the review, mention the initial bad one and the experience with getting the replacement as well as how you like the replacement. The company's service, to me, is as important as the finder itself.

small APOs

While the William Optics are great telescopes, it is hard to beat the Televue 85. I vote TV-85 all the way.
