WoW, Pedro! I am thoroughly impressed. Professional grade work you do on all accounts. If you wrote a book on imaging I am sure it would sell.

Two thumbs up!!

Pedro,
That will probably prove useful to you. DayStar makes a flat screen too.

WoW Pedro! This one is powered, not like the flat field cap that DayStar sells. It must be adjustable in some way?

Pedro, this is very beautiful. I also shot the M81 with a short refractor and it was a failure. I had a three hour total exposure, but the arms of the galaxy barely showed up, and the stars were swollen due to poor vision. Your work is simply magnificent, what is the final exposure?

Professional quality work Pedro! The only deep sky astrophoto I have ever done was of M31 using my iPhone. I got the bright central region ok but it didn't pick up the fainter outer regions of the galaxy.

Can the ZWO ASI178MM be used for deep sky astrophotography?

James, I think compact objects like planetary nebulae are fine. Of course, the result will not be as impressive, but something will work out. It is necessary to understand with which telescope it is better to use it. Previously, I used Stellarium, where it is possible to see how this or that object will fit (or not) on the matrix of your camera.

ZWO cameras are great for deep-sky imaging but you have to use the cooled version. You can try using your uncooled AS178MM for bright objsects (e.g.clusters)

Globulars maybe? Bright ones like M13, M5 or M22?

I never tire of seeing M13. I’ll never forget seeing it for the first time in my old 50mm Focal refractor at 50x for the first time just over 40 years ago. Even though it appeared in the scope as a fairly faint fuzzy ball. It ignited my interest in deep sky and boosted my interest in astronomy at that time. ( March 1982 ) I’d had the scope since December 1978 but had used it only to view the Moon, Sun, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. It and a pair of 10x50 Traq binoculars served me well at the time for Deep Sky. But spurred on by M13 I would purchase a better 60mm Traq refractor and a Coulter 10.1” Dobsonian by mid 83’. The dob blew me away since it resolved the cluster into a bright ball of stars and brought so much more into view. I still have the 60mm Traq and Coulter 10.1” Odyssey Compact. I just wish I still had the time to observe that I did in those days.

You seem to have nice dark skies, Pedro.

Do you use a DSLR or a videocam and image stacking to take these?

WoW, neither a videocam or a DSLR. I guess you can stack with these, Manually I guess. Or are there a need to?

I use several programs to align and stack the deep-sky images - MaximDL & PixInsight

I’ll take a look Pedro. I am certainly curious on how you get these wonderful deep sky pictures.
