While I'm not expecting miracles here, I would expect some signal, even a tiny tiny bit). The scope I'm usin is the same as Bray's - the FSQ-106EDX4 F/3 (Tak reducer) I know 7 hours is a far cry from 100+ hours, but where's the arc? I am not doubting the find or the data, but I'm curious if anyone else has ever photographed it and at what aqusition level you started to detect the arc?
Explorer of the cosmos, one photon at a time. I capture the universe with a collection of about 12 telescopes, including the SCA310, Astro-Physics 155 EDF Starfire, TEC 180FL, and Takahashi Epsilon 160ED, and my beloved FSQ-106EDX4. Paired with advanced imaging systems - including the medium-format ZWO ASI461MM and ASI6200MM Pro with Chroma filters - these precision instruments help me reveal the faint structures, rich colors, and extraordinary detail hidden in the night sky. |
