Forced myself out last Tues 24th July. Really just wanted to make sure I hadn't forgotten how to do everything.. ended up with 10X10mins Ha on M27 with ED80/Atik 314L+

Only just got round to processing & pleasantly surprised to see outer halo starting show (especially from light polluted Bromley skies) - I've never really got a decent M27 & would love to give this a proper go before it sinks too low...

Cheers,  John

It would seem you haven't forgotten how to do stuff  ;)

Nice one John

Nice capture John and just the right level if inky blackness (well at least to my eyes).

Thks all for comments - much appreciated. It was good getting out after yet another 2 month lay-off :-( Would really like to try this from a dark site to see what I could get with the 314...

Cheers,  John

Cheers Tony, Mike....

Yes I know guilty as charged... :-( Always seems like too many excuses not to go... Think I'm turning into some lazy 'old' git...

I will definitely try to come more often especially now nights are getting longer again..

Loving the outer halo - from Bromley as well!

That really is a senistive camera in Ha.  What is the bandwidth of the Ha filter you used?

Thks Mark,

Kinda embarrassing - I don't actually know without taking my filter wheel to bits. I have two a 12nm Astronomic & a 7nm Baader - I am thinking the Baader was in place when I took this... I'll check soon...  :oops:

Visually the skies looked crap - I could count only a handful of stars inside the summer triangle.... it is amazing what the filters allow you to do...

Cheers,  John

I'm guessing it must have been the 7nm.
