NGC2237
SII, Ha, OIII. Sbig ST-2000, Atlas mount, Megrez triplet Fluorite 80/480 at 400mm fl. Captured using Nebulosity, guiding with PHD, mount controlled by EQDIR. Will add up the total time as many frames were lost due to passing clouds.
NGC1499
Ha channel, Sbig ST-2000, Atlas mount, Megrez triplet Fluorite 80/480 at prive. Capture using Nebulosity, guiding with PHD, mount controlled by EQDIR. 2.5 hours of out of focus capture time, third quarter moon.
NGC281
SII, Ha, OIII. Sbig ST-2000, Atlas mount, Megrez triplet Fluorite 80/480 at prime. Capture using Nebulosity, guiding with PHD, mount controlled by EQDIR and Starry Night Pro. 90 minutes each channel, full moon.
M45
A bad night on this one. False color using 30 minutes of Lum (20 at 90 seconds). Sbig ST-2000, Atlas mount, Megrez triplet Fluorite 80/480 at 400mm fl. Captured, pre-process Nebulosity, unguided.
IC1848
SII, Ha, OIII. Sbig ST-2000XM, Atlas mount, Megrez triplet Fluorite 80/480 at 400mm fl. Guide with PHD, Captured pre-process Nebulosity, mount controls, EQDIR. Lost half my SII channel to a poor connection at camera to tube.
IC1805
SII, Ha, OIII. Sbig ST-2000, Atlas mount, Megrez triplet Fluorite 80/480 Guide with PHD, capture pre-process Nebulosity, mount controls EQDIR.
M33
Sbig ST2000XM, Atlas mount, Megrez triplet Fluorite 80/480 Red: 19@96 seconds, Green: 37@49 seconds, Blue: 43@42 seconds, Lum: 135@73 seconds. PHD, Nebulosity, EQDIR.
NGC6992
Sometime in 07, using a Canon Rebel XT (modified) on the 8" HPN. Celestron ASGT mount.
Cygnus Loop
Also somewhere in 07, using a Canon Rebel XT (modified) on the 80mm Megrez. Celestron ASGT mount.
