What a day! (Nov 8)

Post by gabrieli »

Despite the seasonally low sun and low expectations, today was probably the best day of this 2020 season in my location.
I started imaging with an AR 152 at 3600mm for some white light images and then switched to an LS152 for some H alpha.
It was obvious from the better than usual detail that i would have a long session, especially since the sky was cloudless and the temperature
unseasonably moderate. These 2 instruments produced great results. I set up my c9.25 as well, after using the smaller instruments.
That also produced good images but somewhat more variable in detail over the entire frame.
I'll post more once I've had a chance to examine the rest to see if they show better results than what's posted.

Here they are:

Thanks, everyone for viewing and/or comments.

I think using my c9.25 was slightly ambitious and that my 180 Mak would have been a better aperture for the conditions above the two 6 inch scopes. I'll try using 180 today if the weather holds and then get some cleaner images.
