IC5146 Cocoon Nebula + M33 Triangulum Galaxy
My first delve into using a CLS filter last night… damn that was cold out there!
First off, IC5146 Cocoon
OTA: NS8GPS@ f/10
Guiding: WO66 + DSI-C + PHD
Imaging: QHY8, 9 x 600s (plus bias and darks), CLS Filter
Process: DeepSkyStacker, PSCS + Noels Tools
Note: I just couldnt get the focus right on this image, kept chasing it back and forwards.
Then M33 appeared over the roof, so I moved on:
OTA: NS8GPS@ f/6.3
Guiding: WO66 + DSI-C + PHD
Imaging: QHY8, 12 x 600s (plus bias and darks), CLS Filter
Process: DeepSkyStacker, PSCS + Noels Tools
I took about an hour of Ha as well, but cant quite get my head round how I should use it on my RGB image.
