image posting... m8 w/ modified 300D + 8n Halpha filter

by Jeff Crilly


From sunday night at Fremont Peak... while I was waiting for ngc7k to rise...

Here's the real first light of the 8nm hutech halpha "front filter".

10 x 3 mins at ISO 400.

The filter drops into the canon 300D camera body in front of the reflex miror.

I also used a IDAS LPS filter.

The OTA was the 8" f4 LXD55 Meade Schmidt Newt.

That's processed on the laptop -- so if the colors/contrast looks whacked, well, we know why.
