Horsehead Nebula in Orion
First test of my new Astronomik Hydrogen Alpha filter on the Horsehead nebula.
I am so happy with the consistent results I am getting out of the G11 + Orion Starshoot autoguider combo. Now that I am getting used to the mount, setting up is very quick and once guiding is set I can leave it taking 10 minute integrations and just forget about it while it is doing its thing.
Astro-Tech 65EDQ 65mm f/6.5 telescope, Starlight Xpress MX-716 CCD camera, Astronomik H-Alpha filter, Losmandy G11 mount. Guided using an Orion StarShoot autoguider attached to a 9x50 finderscope and PHD software.
18 x 10 minute integrations (3 hours total time), 10 x 10 minute darks, 10 x 1/10th second bias frames. Image sets registered and stacked using DeepSkyStacker.
