ASTRO: Glory Days of...
Film. Its full Moon and the second remnants of a hurricane in a weeks time
is passing over as I type. My sump pump is working overtime as my basement is seeping water from my flooded yard. There is nothing to do except have a few beers and look at old images. This one dates back to the fall of 2004. It is a 40 minute shot through a FS102 @/8 on E200. I hope to duplicate this object this year with my XTi and the same FS102. Anybody need water? Joe |

Nice picture Joe, still I bet you'll do better with the new camera.

Thanks Stefan, One thing that suprised me was all the HII regions it has.
Most images have them washed out and this shot made tham pop out. Joe "Stefan Lilge" wrote in message ... Nice picture Joe, still I bet you'll do better with the new camera.

My soil is sandy so no worry about a wet basement here. Besides, I don't have one. We've gotten a couple days of mist but so far not even 1/10" inch and we are some 14" below normal. Nice image. E200 had excellent H alpha response. It was excellent for HII regions so your result doesn't surprise me. Today's DSLR's, of course, have horrid response to H alpha unless modified. Many of today's CCDs are skewed toward the blue as well and fall off badly for H alpha but have fairly good red response for red stars. So if you push red to bring up the HII regions the stars turn too red. It's a real problem with my STL-11K. The ST-7 picks out HII about as well as E200 did when I was using it for imaging as it is an old one with strong red response rather than blue of today's version.
