Description

For my first pass at the North American Nebular (NGC 7000) this season, I used my Celestron RASA 8 with a color camera (ASI294MC Pro) and a narrowband filter made for this kind of camera (IDAS NBZ UHS). I still intend to shoot it in true narrowband before the end of the summer. The advantage of using a color camera is that it gathers all three components--red, green and blue--at the same time. If shooting time is limited by weather, as it is much of the time for me, this is much simpler than changing narrowband filters while using a monochrome camera with a RASA, which is front loaded, but of course. It’s certainly not the same as true narrowband, but is a good compromise.
