My instagram is @astro_che if you wanna check it out :)
Also known as the Helix nebula. Bit of a mess of an image. Captured over the past few months between targets, some data was shot at gain -1 (don't ask) and a fair amount of rejected subs due to clouds. Finally done tho :D
Camera - Qhy183M
Mount - Belt-Modded HEQ5 (Guided with 120mc-s)
Optics - Samyang 135 F/2
Filters - Optolong LRGBSHO
MiniPC Running Nina/Sharpcap (For Pa)/PHD2
Ha: 107 * 180s at F/2
Oiii: 99 *180s at F/2
Total of 6.7h
Calibrated, Stacked, Drizzled (2x) in Pixinsight.
Crop/DBE Channels, then stacked to create master lum.
Thank you for sharing the result of all your efforts. This turned out beautifully. I can’t even imagine how amazing this must have been as you pulled it all together.
