Astrophotography

Heart and Soul of Cassiopiea

Last night I finally got my G11 with the Gemini II computer working and ready to image! I mede the attached images of the Heart and Soul of Cassiopeia using a SBIG 8300M STF with a Canon 70-200 f2.8 lens set at 200mm. I forgot to engage tracking but still got zero drift in the 10x600sec exposures in Ha, SII, and OIII. The green image is HST (SIII=red, Ha=green, Oiii=blue) while the red image is mapped H-S-O).

Very good. Your G11 must be pretty good if you got 10 min subs without guiding?
