Nebula Photos

It's Galaxy Season, and I'm testing some new gear I brought back from NEAF. The rig I used to take this photo of the Leo Triplet is:

-Airy Disk APO 96mm Triplet Refractor bit.ly/4jm7UQM
-Sky-watcher EQ-AL55i bit.ly/42Dkd3W
-QHY miniCAM8 bit.ly/4jgjg8O

Full resolution and tech. details on Astrobin: app.astrobin.com/i/g5943s

Pretty impressed by the result for just 2 hours of exposure!
What are you looking to image in the next month?

Clear skies, Nico

Excellent and I’m in the market for a new scope and I’m keen to see what you have cooking.

I’m interested how this telescope/camera set up works with a strain wave mount. Less throw away lights? Great job Nico.

Oh, wow that's really cool! I am currently focusing on M-101, but at 400mm it's kind of small.

I'm going to experiment with a 200mm zoom kit lens and a 10mp 40D. I'll start with a few of the moon, then see what else. It'll be fun.

What difference does selecting OSC/CCD vs DSLR make?

Are galaxies bigger in the northern hemisphere or something? Lol. They are tiny through my 1000mm newton

Have you tried to do any astrophotography with the Skywatcher Skymax 180 pro?
