12th May, Mac 8", Ha HR AR & Loop)

[Valtori]

Hello Everybody!!

On the 12th of May in 17:00 local time I managed to catch some decent seeing for Ha imaging in High Resolution with my Mac Alter 8".

After the session, already during processing, I discovered a loop. No choice to restart session to pay more attention to loop.
So I present what I managed to get: image with and without a loop for a better picture of the active area.

Aries ERF, Mac Alter 8", Quark Chr., Red.0.5, ASI174, FC, AS!3, AI, PS

Thank you for looking!!

Warren, Ivan and Petr, thank you very much for kind words!!

Gorgeous shots Val! Love that little bit of bright surge in the last image.

The time difference between shots 2 & 3 is 10 minutes. So surge appeared during this time.

Excellent imaging with the quark. Do you use a narrow band pass filter after the quark to improve contrast ? I was reading your setup, and you write about red 0.5 before the asi174

Oops, maybe you meant 0.5 x reducer

[VasilevIvan]

Great shoots with nice contrast, Valery!

[Valtori]

What kind of reducer do you use Val ? With mine, a 31.8 diameter 0.5 x reducer, I get a lot of vignetting with the asi 174, when trying to reduce the cone of light from a 5x televue barlow and daystar combo. On the other hand when I use the smaller asi 120 sensor I have no troubles

These are excellent, Val. First one is superb, amazing detail, contrast and great processing.

I use TS 1,25" Focal Reducer.
Vignetting has to be dealt with...

I use the same from TS probably. It screws directly on the camera nose

Excellent details, the loop looks awesome!
