I shot this in early October but then between filling 200+ orders for eclipse glasses in four days and making a speed run to Midland, Texas to see the Annular Eclipse, I forgot all about it. 60 sixty second frames from my 11″ SCT at f/1.9 with an Antlia Triband RGB Ultra filter.
Saturday night was a mostly good night. Dry, no wind, not excessively cold yet. The Moon was brighter that I wanted but what are you going to do?
I decided on shooting the Helix Nebula though it was fairly close to the Moon. The image is made from 132 one minute subs shot with my 11″ SCT at f/1.9 with an NBZ filter. The filter blocked most of the moonlight.
It was a good night at the River Ridge Observatory. I started with the Andromeda Galaxy (aka M31), shooting it with my 11″ SCT Elf at f/1.9 with an Antlia Triband RGB Ultra filter. Three hours of one minute subs auto-aligned and stacked by Sharpcap Pro.
