Title: I do not get star colors (orange's and Blue's) with my 383L OSC
Post by: ktaylor807 on September 26, 2012, 05:38:27 pm

I am using a EdgeHD 8" celestron telescope without a Focal Reducer or barlow and NO MATTER what my exposure lenght I do not get any star colors. Only white.

You guys are the experts, What am I doing wrong.

Bring my camera to -10c using Flats and Darks.
Capturing and pre-processing with AA5.

HELP!!!

It's kind of difficult to say without seeing your sample images. Can you upload a calibrated, debayered and stacked image to a server and give us a link? I prefer the image to be in FIT format. TIF file is okay.

I also own a C-8 EdgeHD. I started with SXVR-M25C OSC and used it for about two years before migrating to Atik 460EX mono with filters. I was able to get star colors with OSC camera.

You can see my images at: http://peternagy.smugmug.com . The first few images of Bubble Nebula were taken with Atik 460EX mono and the rest of the images were taken with SXVR-M25C.
