Hi all,

just a supplement from last month due to missing new images.

Hello Torsten,

These are magnificent images, did you use an IR
pass filter? ( 610nm it says in the bottom of
the image )?
Where did you buy these filters if I may ask?

Very sharp, well done!

Hello Torsten, stunning and thanks for posting. Would you share a little more the imaging data, like exposure time, numnber of frames stacked, gain setting, telescope focal length and effective focal length... etc? thanks a lot.

It´s a Baader RG 610nm longpass filter. Well, I think the RG means "Rot Glas" in german, which simply is translated as "Red Glass" in english. These short forms (RG, OG, BG, VG etc.) are used by the german Schott glass company.

Hope you don´t mind the concise diction list.

Telescope fl: 1200mm, f/6

Effective fl: 5800mm, f/29

Exposure time: 1/30s - 1/60s (estimates, cause I don´t remember exactly)

Gain: 980 - 1010 (estimates, cause these are my general gain settings)

Number of stacked frames: 200 - 300, using avistack


Best regards
Torsten

Hi Torsten,

Excellent! image, I like the extra contrast that imaging near the terminator gives.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
