Astrophotography gallery
In this astrophotography gallery are some images taken in the last year. I am lucky enough to live in a class 4 Bortle location with very little light pollution but I am very near the sea so humidity can often ruin an imaging session (and my equipment 
). I use two setups depending on the composition, Rig 1 is narrow FOV and can be seen here, and Rig 2 is wide FOV and is here. I now have two fifferent camera trains, one colour (osc) and the other mono with a filter wheel.
Hope you enjoy the images
Bubble Nebula NGC7635
Captured in November 2022 using Rig 1 with ASI 2600mm Pro camera (-15c, gain 100, offset 50). Composed of over 13 hours of 6nm narrowband data sets for Ha, Oiii, Sii, stacked & processed using PixInsight using the Hubble palette. Conditions were poor so many additional images were discarded prior to processing due to poor guiding (wind) or cloud cover.
M43
Captured using Rig 1 with ASI 2600mm Pro camera (-15c, gain 100, offset 50). RGB filters and then a narrowband Ha filter used for the luminance channel which was merged back in using Pixinsight (5 hours of RGB data and 4 hours of Ha for the luminance channel).
IC410
Captured using Rig 1 with ASI 2600mm Pro camera (-15c, gain 100, offset 50). Composed of 6 hours of 6nm narrowband data sets for Ha, Oiii, Sii processed using PixInsight, combo of Hubble (50%) and ForaxX (50%) palettes.
NGC 281 Pacman Nebula
Captured using Rig 2 with ASI 2600mm Pro camera (-15c, gain 100, offset 50). Composed of 5 hours of 6nm narrowband data sets for Ha, Oiii, Sii processed using PixInsight,combo of Hubble (70%) and ForaxX (30%) palettes.
NCG 6995 Bat Nebula
Captured using Rig 1, composed of 50 x 300 second images (-10c), unity gain 120, processed using PixInsight.
