RASC Hamilton Eastern Veil Nebula in Cygnus from Milton

[Chris Talpas]

Hi Wayne,

I was using an unmodified Canon Xsi with a clip in Astronomiks UHC filter (I
will be modifying the camera in the near future for better Ha response.
The scope is an Explore Scientific 102 mm f7 apo mounted on a Skywatcher EQ6
mount.  Guide camera is a QHY-5l-ii using an Orion TOAG(thin off axis
guider) driven by PHD-II.  The capture software was Backyard EOS and the
images were stacked in Deep Sky Stacker and then processed in Star Tools
with final levels and contrast adjustment in Photoshop elements.  Hope that
answers your question.

 

Chris

Hi Folks,

With the nice clear skies this past weekend, was able to capture this from
my front balcony.  Was able to get auto-guiding working and capture 36 x six
minute exposures.  I was using an Astronomiks UHC filters to deal with the
light pollution in Milton.
