  • Blue: 55%
    • 1.82x exposure from clear
    • 60s clear -> 109s
  • Green: 70%
    • 1.43x exposure from clear
    • 60s clear -> 86s

Test Images

M57 - Ring Nebula

M56 - Globular Cluster

  • 1x60s Luminance image

M27 - Dumbbell Nebula

  • 9x60s Luminance images stacked to form a 6x60s image
  • 1x109s Blue image
  • 1x86s + 2x60s Green images
  • 1x86s + 5x60s Red images


During the Dumbbell Nebula imaging the filters were accidentally changed due to the mouse scroll.

  • Possible workarounds:
    • Use autosave function to take images
    • Check before taking a new single image
