Default ASTRO: NGC 281 with Fuji X-A1

Just for fun another picture from the beginning of September with the unmodified Fuji X-A1. After my Namibia holidays (where the camera only had to do some series with normal camera lenses) I wanted to see if it could give a decent image of a "classical" emission nebula.
I used an Astronomik UHC filter for "one shot narrowband".

Taken from Berlin with an Esprit 150ED APO, unmodified Fuji X-A1, G11 mount, guiding via finder scope, 14x10 minutes at ISO 800.
Considering night temperatures of 15-16 degrees Celsius and my "no darks, no flats, no dithering" lazyness, the images came out surprisingly clean. I guess that Fuji has to tinker with the raws in order to get such clean images, but if it works it is OK with me.

Forgot to mention that this was a night with a half full moon and very bad
transparency

Looks like you have a winner in that camera. What's the Canon show unmodified?

I have not imaged NGC 281 with the Fuji, but I have taken comparison shots
of M57 and M27 with the EOS1000D . I have attached the M57 comparison to the
M46 thread, M27 is similar (much better Halpha response from the unmodified
Fuji compared to the unmodified EOS1000D).

Another thing I forgot to mention:
I used an Astronomik UHC filter. Otherwise 10 minutes at ISO 800 would be
pure white...
