I finally bit the bullet and got an Ha filter to use with my ST-7e NAGB Camera. Question: What will I expect exposure lengths to be using this filter to see...
Bob, I often shoot 20 min subs at f4 binned 2x2 with my sbig 2000/11000. I do not do longer ones because of the chance of mishap. Your camera is much more...
Bob, I use this to determine my best possible exposure: http://www.ccdware.com/resources/subexposure.cfm I usually shoot 12 minute subs in town and 15-20 at...
Bob, Thanks for the info, it gives me a starting point. But I did have to chuckle though, "Try to guide with the camera by finding a bright star," hell, I have...
Bob, It turns out that many Ha objects are in very star rich areas. It is not at all like imaging galaxies. Getting a star on the guide chip is not as hard as...
Just though I'd give a little report on last night with the Ha filter. I tried guiding with my ToUCam without success. Probably because I tripped over the USB...

A few months ago, Jeff Lunglhofer put up his Celestron C10-N optical tube assembly for sale on the AISIG site for $300. I bought it to increase my aperture at...
I'm considering buying a Takahashi Epsilon 180ED to use with my STL-11000. I would appreciate any opinions on collimation and electric focusing, load carrying...
