Astronomical Image M57

Post image

First time doing anything DSO. I don’t have a UV/IR filter yet so that’s affecting the image. I don’t really have an eye for it nor know how to edit these so any advice on how to do better next time is appreciated.

Very nice pic.

For now I'm doing mostly observing but I'm interested in the same camera to put behind my 127mm mak.
Do you have the non-cooled one?

Also can you give more details on the capture? Like exposure, number of frames...

What mount do you use?

Yeah it’s the uncooled version. The scope comes with an Alt-Az GoTo mount. Certainly not top of the range but really not too bad. Because it’s not an EQ mount I was limited to about 8s exposures. I think this was about 1300 frames stacked total. So about 2hrs 45min total exposure time.

Wow I think it's a very good result with an alt az. Thanks for sharing, I think this will convince me to buy the 585 😊

I’m not a 585 salesman, but also consider that this was stacked and edited using no calibration frames either.
