It's nice to see something taken with a Pentax OTA. There has been a dearth of samples to compare for those of us perennially looking for a better OTA. Drew...
Drew, This is the second Pentax 125 SDP that i've had the pleasure of owning...and honestly "so far" my very BEST ha image captures have been thru the 2...
Last night I switched lenses to the 300mm f/4 pentax smc 6x7 lens. this gives me about 6.19 arc-sec/pixel so I get a pretty big FOV of 5.28 x 3.52 degrees....

this is a total of 5 hours; 5x20 minutes for each filter (ha, [OIII], [SII]) this was taken using the pentax 300mm f/4 medium format lens (6x7) on the IMG6303E...
Hi Richard, Your Veil image is very nicely done. I like the field of view in this beautiful composition. That Pentax lens does a great job with the 6303....
Richard, that's a lovely portrait of a beautiful place in the sky ! Broose ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com....

This is my first mapped narrow band effort. I used Custom Scientific 4.5nm filters from my light polluted SF Bay Area home north of Berkeley. Camera is an...
thanks for posting Rob You picked an excellent target for your initial foray into tricolor narrowband imaging. I am in castro valley, a bit south of you! I...
Richard, Flats? What flats? I didn't use any. Seriously, I'm all ears, so what specifically in my image would flats improve? I've been admiring your images...
if you really didn't use flats then i recommend using them you will never get the colors right unless you do do you know how to shoot flats? the flats do...

Richard I'm familiar with flats though don't always use them. I generally do twilight flats using a Maxim add-in. I'll shoot a set for each filter (HA, SII,...
Nothing special about either of these images, both of which were acquired using a Custom Scientific 4.5nm HA filter from my light polluted yard north of...
this is adding sulfur and oxygen to the previously-released halpha image of M27 taken a few days ago. last night the marine layer finally cooperated long...
Way to go Richard -- nice result ! This version has some great color, but the image seems to be out of focus, or perhaps some other issue. Any ideas what is...

I'm back! (I guess most people are now thinking "And *Who* is that is back?!?" :-)). My narrowband production is quite small (well, not that RGB imaging is ...
Late last week I was asked if I could help identify the root cause of some anomalies observed in some flat fields taken using some square emission line...
