European Astronomy Picture of the Day - 31.03.2021
EAPOD.png

This project represents my first set of Ha lights with the Baader HighSpeed f/2 filter and practically the first capture with the large HyperStar 11 v4 telescope.

It was made on February 4 2021, at a temperature of -12 ° degrees but with perfectly clear skies.

The color capture was made using a Sky Watcher Ed80 telescope and a Color camera, on March 3 2021, through the clouds and with Orion located at 25 °degrees above the Bucharest area (SQML 18).

The color signal input was very weak, the processing being a real challenge, but I managed to bring a little color in this exposure.

Yes! I was very lucky!
Imagine what this setup can do with a longer time and a darker sky.

yep

Hyperstar is cool

but collimation must be difficult with that F-ratio

Nice picture but the horse head has been shot so many times that it is difficult to leave an impression by now 😄 

I never heard of the EAPOD and I could not find their website, do they still exist?

cheers and CS

I actually meant lucky in getting the EAPOD, 'cause I see a few tiny blemishes, like the blue in the BG, and the halo on Alnitak.

Send me a friend invite on chess.com

I'll play with you when I have the time

Unfortunately, I think the EAPOD website was closed last year.
I don't know the reasons.
