Skywatcher 8035




Instrument:
SK 8035 (350mm, f/4.4)
equatorial mount EQ2
Camera:
ToUCam pro PCVC-740 SC1
Baader IR filter
"non-raw" patch

I am still on a (steep) learning curve in astro photography, results appear to me to be presentable yet, in a way....  This stacking of different images evaluated on the same data analysis but on different "balance" settings of the resulting single image looks to me to be a future way to overcome the limitations of the 8bit ADC of the webcams used.



M15






M27





M42 & M43


IR-filter & Nd-skyglow-filter for DAQ, 27 frames of 10s exposures stacked,
one resulting linear scale image superposed to
two resulting logarithmic scale images with different image properties,
quiet tricky to match the enormous dynamic range of the objects....
