Description

Here's one of the last photos shot with the R200SS and the 2600MC.
Both OTA and camera are to be sold and replaced by an APO and the 2600MM.

The data is not up to my current standards, but I figured I process it anyway and share it here.
To be honest, I was quite surprised at how many details one is able to resolve with a 200mm F/3.9 OTA.
Subs were acquired using the L-eXtreme which nicely boosted contrast. Star colour was added by shooting short subs without any filter about a weeks later. Judgring from the RGB data though, the Crab itself looks far better in RGB than Duo-NB. I will revisit this with with the new rig next season.


This is far away from my best images, but I like it anyway.
