The forecast is no good, but the worst case is not raining.
So I pulled out my bigger rig to test out my new Antlia Quad Band filter. Also, I am testing my new wiring, basically connect the EAF and guider cam to the main cam. It works out well.
However, my new power cable was not working. I ended up using my old wire first. I have to turn off cooling to make it works.
The main camera was pointing at the Soul Nebula IC1848, taking 5 minutes exposures.
I am somehow confused, the image came out seems something else that I could not identify.
I used Siril to process the image, I did background extraction, Cosmic Clarity, VeraLux Hypermetric Stretch, and Abberation Remover:
Antlia Quad Band seems generating halo around brighter stars?
And then I switch to the Lobster Claw Nebula SH2-157 in order to avoid meridian flip since I will have a meeting soon.
After the meeting, I turned the main setup to M1 in the hope to capture some more detail.
(I was trying to clean up my asiair mini but I really clean it up, lost all other images, sad to find)
After setting up the big rig, I pulled out also my S30. The Ghost of the Cassiopeia IC63 will be the target of the night. Over two hours of exposures are accumulated.
Then I switch to M42 for some more mosaic:
Cloud did roll in to ruin some of the shots, but it's still a night worth setting the stuff up.
The bigger ipad is monitoring the S30 while the smaller ipad is monitoring the ASIAir running the bigger rig:
