RHO OPHI_QHY163HS_LUM_52x30sec_Q128 RGB 12x120 C
Swapped some cameras around yesterday and it was clear enough to re-focus everything.
This is a test image, part of the Rho Ophiuchi Complex in the constellation of Scorpio. It's a test because I used my QHY128 color camera w/AT65 and my QHY163 mono camera w/Hyperstar to make this image
The field of view with the QHY128C & the AstroTech AT65EDQ is 4.91 x 3.28 degrees. The QHY163 & the 11" Celestron(at F/2) is 1.81 x 1.37 degrees. The results were combined in PixInsight & PS2020
Center (RA, hms): 16h 25m 05.740s
Center (Dec, dms): -23° 55' 41.709"
Size: 1.78 x 1.36 deg
Radius: 1.118 deg
Pixel scale: 2.91 arcsec/pixel
QHY128 OSC w/Optolong Lum Filter: 12x120 seconds
QHY163M w/Optolong Lum Filter: 50x30 seconds
(49 minutes, if my math is correct :) )
Orion HDX-110 mount
