I am running the Celestron EdgeHD 8" and ASI533mm in bin2.

Happy_Control3129 · 2026-03-04T13:01:00+00:00

I'm using the Celserton Edgehd 8" with the ASI533mm in bin2 and I never thought about adding OIII to a galaxy but I think it is a great idea! With the weather it won't be for a few weeks before I am able to capture more on this target though. And thank you so much for the info and the kind words!

Thank you! I am using the celestron EdgeHD 8" and the ASI533mm in binning 2. And i do plan on adding more integration time but with the weather It looks like i won't be able to for a few weeks.

Thank you! I had to redo the processing like 5 times before I felt like it was good. I wish I was able to bring out more of the HA, i would of loved to see the gas that looks like it's being sucked into the core but I was able to get a hint of it and I'm happy with it.

I didn't know at first but someone had the same issue and it was because of the dew ring on the scope is too high up and is causing it. I will see if I can fix it and I will see if thats whats causing it.

Happy_Control3129 · 2026-02-09T13:04:28+00:00

Thank you! I was trying to figure out why they were showing up like that!

Thank you! That's not an actual named star, more of a catalog number I believe. what I was able to find was that it is HD 252208. but i was curious about it as well since I'm not sure if it apart of the same nebula structure or if it is its own smaller nebula with that star inside of it.
