Ths is the first light image with my new 383L+. Imaging is difficult in the UK at this time of year because we never actually get true astronomical darkness and this year is even more difficult because of the atrocious weather.
The data was collected over several nights in gaps between the clouds and rain and comprises 9x600s through each of H-alpha and O-III filters, the final image is combined as RGB = H-A,O-III,O-III
Equipment used: Eq6 Pro, SW Quattro 10" CF + MPCC, Baader 1.25" filters mounted in TS low profile filter changer. Because the filter drawer system puts the filter surface very close to the nosepiece of the camera there is no noticeable vignetting with the 1.25" filters even at the f/4 focal ratio of the Quattro (according to my calculation the diameter of the incoming light cone at the filter is about 27.4mm and the clear aperture of the filters is 27mm).
Thanks for looking
