The last pics from Martin Fiedler using his OVNI-M night vision monocular and a Player One Saturn-M camera on a tracked 24inch Dobsonian are available in Martin’s gallery :

These are amazing! I’ve checked out maybe half or so of the sharpless objects, but with this size of a scope and some decent skies, these smaller objects become visible/interesting.

Not sure my pic are applicable, but here is the Foxhead cluster. I used 610 red longpass filters IIRC. Corrected the color and contrast in Photoshop to represent the EP view. This is from B7/8 skies. Image is over sharpened to compensate for the site requirements.

Some iPhone pics I took today with my 16 inch dobsonian and rvm-c in prime mode with a 3nm ha filter.

My first try in Night vision photos. Bortle 9. Unknown phone settings, phone was relatively cheap ~150bucks.

 

Now that I look, i am unsure why my dob doesnt show that much more than my apo. Hmmmm

p.s. photo is bit larger if you click on it. Maybe someone could tell me why this photo is quite small added here.

Those are really clear pictures! How do those pictures compare to what you see through the NV with your eyes?

The live views are noisier with some scintillation (but I adjust the gain to suit my personal preference of brightness/faint detail visible versus amount of noise). The amount of fine detail that I can see live is quite close to that shown in the pictures. I was using a high spec tube with an snr of over 41 and an ebi of 0.3.
