My second image from 7-1-2016  - Done with my Dual rig. 

Processing was a bit of a tour de-force, as I did both Ha and Oiii from both cameras, and there was also a meridian flip in all filters.  Think I'll have a stiff drink now.     Husband hasn't seen me all day I've been upstairs processing the entire day. 

a) Atik314L & WOZS71 + x0.8 FR
b) Atik460EX & ED80 + x0.8 FR

Ha 31 x 600secs (a= 14 x 600, b = 17 x 600)
Oiii 16 x 600secs (a= 2 x 600, b = 14 x 600)
Sii 13 x 600 (a)

Total integration  time = 10 hours

Gosh Carole, you do put yourself through it!  well you  got another image, at least you have something to show for all your perseverance.

[Carole]

It's complicated Fay, but at least gives me a better chance of getting a complete image in one evening, trying to get all filters on one scope rarely worked and then I'd wait sometimes months to complete an image.  Also with Oiii being different focus to Ha and Sii means I don't have to stop and re-focus, as Ha and Sii seem to be pretty much the same, so I can use the sequencer.

i.e. Ha & Sii on one scope and Oiii on the other (at least for the first hour or two).

Excellent result Carole.  You've done a good job of processing that.  The colours look great.

That does look good Carole, it looks like the hard work has paid off.  I like this palette a lot (Ha mapped to blue) as it gives an almost 3d effect.

The dual scope rig is also paying dividends and it's something I'd like to do myself sometime.

Thanks Robert. 

Yes I couldn't have got all this data with only one camera.

Very nice Carole, love the colours. You continue to demonstrate the benefits of a dual rig, imagine what could be done if it was combined with F4 or lower scopes.

[Carole]

Thanks Ivor. 

I was imaging at F6 in the ED80 & F4.72 in the WO, so not far out in the WO.
Just need to get away from the LP.
