4 inch refractor imaging in cassiopeia

Another clear, but windy night... guiding is running smooth, star eccentricity and fwhm are surprisingly low, considering the current conditions

🔭

Thank you Bernd!

Admission is a great first step😂 Spiral cable wrap and velcro for the win! Maybe shorter cables too?

Thank you. Actually, this is just the Ha/Oiii filter. Id love to grab the Sii/Hb filter and add to the dataset

Imaged during the unprecedented stretch of amazing weather we had in October.

The ALP-T filter has proven to be very versatile with a moon in the sky, as long as you have some separation 🌙

Right side

Its high for me as well. I cant see polaris from my spot behind the house. Thin high atmo clouds have been randomly coming over amd ruining random subs

Hope you get clear skies soon!

Back from Jan of 2020

The sky squeegee is on its way! 😅 I miss the weather we had here in October

Can't wait to see the final image once you gather rgb.

Nice detail for an hour. Ive been on this target the past few nights when it clears the horizon, and its definitely a faint one

PHD2 Guiding at 700mm focal length on Dec 3, 2024

Decent guiding tonight for a mediocre seeing forecast (they got it wrong 😄) 🔭

That built in focuser is next level

Thanks, it has made a difference with guiding amd peace of mind from snags. Spiral cable wrap amd velcro for the win!

Gearing up for another clear night!
The NINA sequencer will be quite busy tonight....Ghost of Cassiopeia, 2 panels of The Pleiades, and rounding out the night with 2 panels of rgb stars of the Rosette Nebula 🔭

I love the long winter nights!

I enjoy imaging deep sky objects. Processing is becoming a second favorite
