Description

Shot after almost 2 months of seeing nothing but clouds. The first night just Ha because of the full moon. The second night also as good as full moon, let's see what those 3nm O3 and S2 filters have to say to the moonlight. I have to say that it didn't bother me too much, while the object was only 35° away. This time a first successful attempt at RGB stars that I also took during the 2nd night. A shutter speed longer than 10sec on gain 0 already gave oversaturated stars. That full well of the ASI1600 is realy not great... Would have liked to have shot some more O3 and S2, but around 3 o'clock everything closed that night. enjoy!

Ha: 34 x 600 sec (gain139)
O3: 17 x 600sec (gain139)
S2: 10 x 600sec (gain139)
RGB: 3 x 100 x 10sec (gain0)
