    It’s pretty fast moving so you need to set up especially if you want a decent shot.

    My setup is a bit too widefield in current configuration.

    In principle, I could probably have a go but it’s a lot of effort for something that isnt really on my target list at the mo’.

    Some great images here. Well done. One of my friends does things like this, though for some reason he's taken a branch line into spectrometry/spectroscopy.

    I had thought of getting kit myself, but mosly the weather in the UK is not favourable, though my friend had some good images taken from within Sheffield boundaries - with filters, stacking etc. Now I hear that the kit has been relocated to France, and he may be able to access it via t'Internet! Last time I heard he'd more or less given up going out into the cold, but rather controlled the telescopes, sensors etc. from the much warmer indoors.

    Thanks!

    The biggest issue in the UK is definitely the weather. You have to be setup and ready to go at a minute’s notice.

    My setup is limited in it’s view hut I can be up and imaging from the comfort of my sofa pretty much from the time it takes to to switch on the power and take the cover off the scope.

    The cover I use is a Telegizmo 365, proven in extreme climates worldwide.

    As I’m completely happy with my system these days, I’m left with no option but to post here!

    Here’s a couple of recent captures.

    To be honest, I do feel my processing has matured a bit over the last year. I’m now starting to explore techniques like combining broadband (RGB) stars with Narrowband nebula images, using separate Star Layers (stripped out with a neural-network type program called starnet++)

    Haven’t gone over to the dark side (Pixinsight) yet, I still prefer to use ‘arty-farty’ Photoshop.

    Here’s an example of a two-session image (Narrowband for the nebula, RGB for the stars).
    This technique gives a ‘best of both worlds’, combined rich nebula colours with natural star colours.

    The Elephant Trunk Nebula.
