NGC7380 Wizard Nebula Ha/Oiii/Sii
Posted: Sun Sep 08, 2019 11:41 am
The weather has not been playing ball lately but the sky cleared last night at 23.30 so imaged until just before 4.00 the shot is composed of the best 80% of the frames taken. This is also with the new darks library with all gains set to a black offset of 50 as it saves me having to remember to change the offset as well as the gain.
Also used the satellite feed with Infra+ to track the clouds on Windy.com hence knowing it was going to clear and also allowed me to watch were new clouds were coming from hence packing up at 4am all in all everything went well and all the kit behaved itself.
Equipment
Avalon M-UNO mount + EQDirect cable
APM LZOS 780/130 refractor + Riccardi 1.0x Flattener
Altair 60mm Guidescope + GPCAM2 Guide Camera
Imaging Camera ASI1600MM-Pro at -20c
Filters 6nm Astronomik Ha / Oiii / Sii
Software Sharpcap Pro/ PHD2 / Stellarium / EQMOD / Astro Pixel Processor + Photoshop CC
Exposures Ha 34 x 120s / Oiii 24 x 120s / Sii 25 x 120s gain set to 200 offset at 50
