April 24th FD
Hi all... A brief time to image over a late lunch today and pulled some FD images in Ha and CaK. I tried again for the proms in CaK and had some luck, so there is a FD in both Ha and CaK that is a composite of separate disk and limb images. All captured with the ASI1600MM camera. The Ha is through t...

Re: April 22nd FD Images
Alfred and Wayne...
Thanks for your feedback, it is always appreciated
Alfred, I had no additional ERF, just the CaK (straight through version) and the scope was stopped down to 90mm or so as well.

Hi everyone... I had a short session over lunch today and captured a set of FD images in Ha, WL, and CaK. The WL and Ha views were really impressive and I wish I had more time to do some higher resolution imaging, but the seeing wasn't great so I am happy with the FD's. All were captured with the AS...
