Description

More panels added to my Orion Ha Project. Sharpless 264, Rigel, and Betelgeuse areas.

Repeat of previous information on setup.

This is the current result of my attempt to image Orion in Ha from my driveway in Durham, NC. This was done over the last six months or so. Much of the mosaic was done using my images by my son Tim using the Nuke software. I plan to add more panels around the outside as weather and Orion's visibility allow.

I used

Atik 460ex camera

Canon 100mm f.2.8L lens

Astrodon 5nm Ha filter

Orion Atlas Pro Mount

Orion 50mm guide scope

Lodestar X2 guide camera

Polestar polar align scope

Sequence Generator Pro

PlateSolve 2

PHD2

Carte du Ciel

Pixinsight

Photoshop CC

Nuke for the mosaic creation

Most panels are 10-12 10 minute exposures
