ASTRO: an early look see at the Crescent in the tricolor emissionline palette
Looking good Richard!

at f/12.6 signal builds slowly. even more so using emission line filters.
even more so when there is moon in a suburban sky
but still perseverence is occasionally rewarded.
I have quite a ways to go: I have a total of 25 x 20 minutes: a hair more
than 8 hours
but we are beginning to get some idea of what it might look like in the
wavelength ordered palette
it was taken at F=5760mm using the 18" classical cassegrain at f/12.6
the camera is the FLI Proline 9000 with Baader Halpha and FLI S2 and O3
filters
all subs were 20 minutes
