Title: Atik Horizon OSC Images
Post by: Phil HD925 on November 22, 2018, 03:48:34 am

Just started doing Astrophotography with the Atik Horizon OSC.  I was doing video astronomy with the Horizon for the past 10 months.  I'm liking the results so far.  The following are all narrowband captures with the STC Duo-Narrowband (Ha, OIII) filter on my EdgeHD 9.25" w/Hyperstar. Still learning about processing in PixInsight, so they're not perfect.  All taken from a dark site in the Sierra Nevada Mountains at 5,200ft elevation (roughly a bortle 3-3.5 zone).  There was some light smoke in the air during the Crescent and NA captures.

Great Results Phil,

I have both the OSC and the Mono version - With the mono version its incredibably more sensitive so worth a try too!

Yeah, that's the beauty of mono.  I do plan on going down that road at some point.  I primarily image using Hyperstar, so I'll need to get the hyperstar filter slider adapter.  Unfortunately, I can't use a filter wheel with this setup.  That would make things too easy.

Beautiful pictures Phil!
For a while I'm thinking about taking an Atik Horizon-Mono;)
