The Dark Shark - Altair Astro's 70EDQ - 24CFX - TRI RGB Filter
Astrobloke posted a topic in Equipment reviews,
A recent project of imaging the Dark shark nebula and LDN1250. Using the excellent Altair Astro 70EDQ and 24CFX I was able to capture a nice wide portion of sky and featuring these 2 fascinating targets. In total I captured 10 hrs of 5 min subs over a few nights. Starting out on the target I used Atair's TRI RGB filter and then switched to just using the built in UV/IR cut filter.
Video of the capture here on Youtube
