Iris Nebula - NGC7023

Iris Nebula - NGC7023

Over 13 hours Luminance, 2 hours R, G and B each.
Taken with an Ultracat108 and an ASI2600MM on a AM5N over three nights around last new moon.

I like how the nebula in this framing looks like an Ent from Lord of the rings 😀

M16 / Eagle Nebula

Image taken during my holiday trip to the beautiful island of Kos / Greece.

M16 is too low to image in a sensible way from my home so it was very cool to catch it from greece.

Full moon did not bother too much, the wind was very moderate during imaging.

Ultracat 108, ASI2600MM, AM5n mount, Optolong 7nm SHO filters, ZWO OAG L with ASI220mm for guiding

1 hour 40 Minutes RGB each

3h H, 4h50m S, 7h20m O

Total Integration Time 20h

Shark Nebula / LDN1235 / RGB LUM Composition

Shot over 7 days during my Eclipse holiday trip at new moon in Santanyi / Mallorca / Spain

Quite demanding, had some post meridian guiding problems during the first two nights, but everything worked out well in the end.

Slightly over 30 hours of integration time in a Bortle 4 sky.

Ultracat 108, ASI2600MM, AM5n mount, Optolong RGB & Lum filters, ZWO OAG L with ASI220mm for guiding

First Tank / 90P / 8 weeks

8 weeks after i started, the glosso carpet is more or less closed now. Already did a first small trimming, going to do my first real lawn mower action next week :)
Myriophyllum in the left corner is growing like crazy, already cut it twice. my favourite plant is the red ludwigia palustris in the middle background.

For livestock, i already have Amanos and Neo caridina blue velvet (lots of babies :),

going to add fish soon! What ould you suggest colorwise? I'm thinking about Espes and Nannostomus, i want to go small and lots of them 😄

Cygnus Wall

My vacation project from beautiful Kos/Greece :)
Shot very convenient from the deck of my AirBnB with my Ultracat108, on an AM5N with an ASI2600MM and 6,5nm Optolong SHO filters. Guiding with an Asi220 and a ZWO OAG.

Red is S, Blue is O and Green Channel is a fifty fifty mix of H and O
Tried to not overdue the processing because my dataset was very robust.
Very pleased with the Ultracat108, so easy to use and shaaaarp 😆

Ultracat 108 First (Morning) Light

what a comfortable scope! performed smooth as butter on my first night with the ASI2600MM and OAG. I splurged on the Astek Focus adapter too, autofocus with a ZWO EAF N was effortless. Target was IC63, going to chase more photons in rhe coming nights 🤩

nice one night project, 131x90 second subs
Celestron C8, ASI585MC, AM5N, no filter in moonless Bortle 4

had to fight walking noise in processing, i forgot my flat panel at home so my flats were a bit lackluster 😅
