Latest #Astrophotography adventure, The Seagull Nebula. This was a difficult one, it’s very low from here, doesn’t get much above 20°, skirting the trees. And with the clocks going forward I was only able to about 1.5 hours a night. This it’s just over 6 hours and is very noisy. Details in AltText

Busy day in the Observatory!
Replaced the treads on the steps.
Swapped the filters in the Atikone for #LRGB instead of #SHO and finally got all the adapters to install the #ZWOCAA on the RedCat71. Already for #GalaxySeason now hopefully the weather will play ball. I need some #Astrophotography

My fellow #Astrophotography enthusiasts, never delete old data. Back in the days where I used a canon 1000d I tried to capture #IC434 the #horsehead nebula, it wasn’t very good. Some years later I captured about 30mins of Ha data with an Atikone and used the 1000d date for the colour

Here is the result. Created from Canon EOS 1000d RGB data with Atikone 6.0 Ha data. Different cameras and sensor sizes. Never throw out old data no matter how bad

That’s Quite the field of view for 1400mm focal length. My sensor in the Atikone or asi533mc would be about a 1/4 of that 👍

The main camera that I use is an Atikone 6.0 loaded with @antliafilter.bsky.social 3nm filters. I also have an asi533mc Pro, mainly used with camera lenses for widefield shots

No I didn’t my #Melotte15 image heart of the #HeartNebula was taken with my @celestronuniverse.bsky.social #C8sct telescope and Atikone 6.0 camera. The original version was processed with Affinity Photo. I recently reprocessed the same data with PixInsight here are both versions

Sensor is a similar size to my Atikone 6.0 ccd. I use it mainly with my Redcat 71. It’s just a shame they didn’t go 3nm on the narrowband filters. Must be a price thing. It would be a nice option to have though

This target really benefits from having some Ha subs then add them to the colour data as a luminance layer. When I first tried this with a dslr you could hardly make it out. I later added 30 mins of Ha from a mono camera and it made a massive improvement

Thanks that’s really helpful. It looks like if you have an OAG it would need to go on the scope side. So it won’t work with my Atikone without the OAG fouling the CAA

I’ll have to work out how to do it in PixInsight. When I previously did it I used AstroPixelProcessor as the camera I took the Ha data was different than the one shot colour camera that I captured the RGB with. asi533mc vs Atikone 6.0 so not even the same sensor shape

I’ve had my camera a long time it’s an Atikone 6.0 with @antliafilter.bsky.social 3nm 1.25” filters in the integrated filter wheel. It’s no a very big sensor but is a true ccd not cmos like more modern cameras

They were all taken from my back garden with various telescopes, different filters and my Atikone monochrome astronomy camera. The individual monochrome images were then stacked together per filter using AstroPixelProcessor. Each colour image was created by assigning each filter to Red,Green or Blue
