Had another go at M1 as well to try to get some detail out of it.


Whitters

What scope and how long?

Rocket Pooch

Its the 80mm F5 again, dropped my focal reducer for the LX90 and it smashed so I can only use this scope for slightly wide field object.  Although I suspect it might fint in the LX.

Whitters

Oh No! disaster.

The Ha filter is working well though.

Rocket Pooch

Yes it was a surprise, so were the 4x longer exposure lengths required.  

I need to get the OIII out, but Karen would not let me use it last night, something about it having been wrapped up and she would notice if the selotape was moved :sad:  Never mind, will get fake colouring in 1 week, weather permitting.
