Description

NGC 7000 (North America Nebula) 18 October. ASI183MC-Pro, -10C, 28x90 seconds (42 minutes), Canon EF 70-200L, f/8, 70% illuminated Moon. I've been using the camera with a C8 for the planets for some months, this was my first opportunity for DSO trials. In addition to trying the camera for DSO, I was trying out a new filter. It's from Omega Optical, a dual narrowband that passes primarily Ha and OIII (with a little Hb) and very effectively blocks all else. The camera/lens combo rode on a CG5 unguided. Polar aligned with SharpCap and image capture also with SharpCap in Live Stack mode. I'm not so sure Live Stack is the best way to collect this data but wanted to try it out.
