Description

The North America Nebula in Narrow band!

Revision A: Ha

Revision B: OIII

Revision C: SII

Revision D: Bi-color

Revison E: SHO (modified Hubble palette)

At last I did it! It took me 3 years to get the proper gear. I just captured Ha, OIII and SII. I did it!! 3 long nights in mosquitoe infested land!! I much prefer -15C during winter!!

I used my 80mm scope with a reducer bringing the FL at 384mm and it barely fits in.

This is about 1.5 hours of integration for Ha. About 3.5 hours for OIII and 3.5 hours for SII.

I wish I could have done more OIII but SGP acted up on me because of an option in the menu that I should not have selected. As a result, I lost a lot of imaging time when total darkness and clear skies are very difficult to get at this time of the year.

SGP can be really finicky and it doesn't tell you a whole lot when an error message pops up in the middle of the night...



Thanks for looking
