Description

First real attempt with this setup from my backyard. Guiding with a 3D-printed guidescope (OpenAstroGuider) went great. (Total RMS between 0.25 and 0.37 px) The DNB data (32x300 sec.) were captured during the night of July 11 using the SV220 7nm Ha/O3 filter under a Bortle 4 sky from a garden in a central location. The RGB data (37x30 sec.) for the stars were taken with the UV-IR cut filter during a short session the following evening. The SV226 filter drawer is really easy to use. This was also the first time it was used here. The entire setup is powered by an SV241 Pro, and connecting it to a mini PC running N.I.N.A. is a breeze. This was my first time processing data of this type and quality. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
