Hi All,
This is my first try with my new Samyang 135mm F2 lens.
Equipment:
Ioptron cem 60
ZWO asi 071 mc-pro
Samyang 135mm set on F3,6 to F5,6 (the F5,6 is best value for this lens found out after a few sessions 😉 )
Idas NB1 filter
Intergration time about 16,5 hour
Bortle class 9
Any input is always welcome 🙂 !
Hope you enjoy.
Clear skies, Jan-Willem
We always enjoy the photo's, this is no exception, well done especially if it's a class 9 sky!
Hi Vincent,
Thank you for you're kind words. It is challenging to image from my own backyard but in fall there will be a few starparty's I hope for some clear nights.
Clear skies Jan-Willem
Verry good Image Jan,
Nice image! What's the exposure time/ISO @ F5,6?
Hi Max,
Thanks 🙂 !
I did use an OSC camera at 0 gain. I've got also a Nikon d5100 (exact the same chip) and would use around iso 200.
The exposures where between 100 sec. (Moon at 70%) and 130 sec. With moon at 15%.
I did use an "duo narrowband" filter the idas NB1.
If I did use my idas lps D1 filter (with new moon) I would use 45 sec. Without over exposing the background.
Clear skies Jan-Willem
