Hard to believe you could get that much of the Veil Nebula in 60 seconds.
That’s fantastic.

Thanks Pete!



The exposures were as follows:



M45 - 60s @ iso8000

NGC6960 - 60s @ iso12800

NGC6888 - 30s @ iso8000



These were taken with a Sony A7S camera, modified for full spectrum captures.
This camera is very low light sensitive. The OTA I used is a TPO 8"
Ritchey-Cretien at f/8.

Greg,



These are great, especially for single subs. I wouldn’t have believed that the
Veil Nebula could have been so distinct. How long were your exposures?

I'm glad we met up. We'll have to do it again!



Here are some of the images I grabbed last night. Hopefully the list server
will let these through.



These are single subs tweaked in Lightroom and reflect pretty much what I saw
on the screen through the evening. Hopefully I'll get around to stacking and
full processing in the next week. That should reveal quite a bit more.



As you might be able to see my collimation is off. I picked this OTA up on
Friday, so I'm still learning it. If anyone is familiar with collimating a
Ritchey-Cretian, specifically an AT8RC or similar, I might be able to use some
help.



NGC6888 - Crescent Nebula (lots of red in this area of the sky I guess)









NGC6960 - Veil Nebula







M45 (Partial)

Terri, the clouds moved out and it became clear at around 9:30pm. We saw a few
new objects for you. ;)



It was nice to meet Greg and his family as well as hang out with Kevin, Dewell,
and Sam.

What's with these clouds? I don't recall this weekend having such a terrible
weather forecast. Wishing you all a great time at Antenna's. Bring back some
great stories to share! And look at one new object for me that you haven't seen
previously through your scope. : )

I still hope to go. My car is loaded up. However, I will keep looking at the
weather reports. Right now the reports have gotten worse, from an average of
15% cloud cover to 25% cloud cover. I will make my final decision at 3 pm. Take
care. Sam

Fairly cloudy here in North Glendale. Is everyone still going tonight?
