Hello guys

has anyone an idea of why my color channels are so weak?

These are the average combine of 12 10min subs taken with my TEC180 at F7 with the SBIG STL11000XM unbinned. I know I should have probably binned the exposures, but I wanted to keep the star size as small as possible to match what I considered a good h-alpha luminance.
However, I thought that 2 hours of color would have given me a pretty good result, but I was evidently very wrong :C

Any help/suggestion would be greatly appreciated: I'm loosing sleep over it, while I should loose it imaging

Ciao
Luca

least one of them... 8)

Hi all.
These images of M51 and M63 are first light with my new Starlight Xpress SXVF-H16 camera. I quite like the field of view and the square shape of the sensor. It makes for a little different composition. The links are below. Be sure to click on the images for the full versions. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
Cheers,
Tyler

Folks,

Can we please try and remain on-topic within this group? During the past few weeks we have had a few threads surrounding equipment and which is most appropriate in other equipment-related groups including TeleVue and refractors.

I remind everyone that the description for this group reads "DEEP SKY IMAGERS have their own unique Imaging and Processing issues - Now they have their own FORUM" and it is both frustrating and tiresome seeing LENGTHY threads which not only do not belong here but have other groups here on Astromart where they are ideally suited.

No, I am not the administrator but an interested reader and participant!

Anthony.
