A night with a RASA8
Posted: Sun Aug 07, 2022 11:17 am
Hello,
I did in the past weeks several "serious" imaging with my new equipment (RASA8 and QHY-268 + FCCT-II and filters).
Some of the targets are in the swan constellation. Here only the images taken in one night with the Halpha filter (6 nm for F2 system).
I used SharpCap Pro and the Live Stack tool. The RASA8 is mounted on my EQ8Rh mount in parallel with my Newton 10" telescope, note that no guiding was used. All the images are done during the night from 4. to 5. August (from 23:50 to 02:09).
Each target is the result of 5 images of each 1 minute exposure ... so only 5 minutes total exposure.
I take a dark image before imaging. No offset or no flat correction are used.
Here all images together (and reduced to 40%): Here the position of the images in the sky: Regards,
Jean-Francois
