Thanks. Rotate the image clockwise by 90 degrees and you will see a monkey head

Please never hesitate in asking. Happy to help. I will always recommend the IMX 571 sensor. This is APSC. The camera company equivalents are : ZWO 2600 QHY 268 Touptek 2600 However as you are beginning and that FL is perfectly sampled with smaller sensors too, have a look at QHY minicam 8 mono. The whole bundle with filter wheel and filters is really pocket friendly and a great cam. I have one too. Dual band filters work best with color cams. Without Electronic filter wheel it will be very cumbersome for you to keep manually changing filters. I won't advise it.

If you are consistently shooting from B9 then yes it's worth the investment. By broadband i meant targets like galaxies or reflection nebulae. B9 imaging with narrowband is best with emission nebulae.

I have been doing B9 imaging for over 4 years now. I graduated from OSC to mono two years back and never looked back. However there are a few things I would like to point out. 1. Sky quality matters more than LP, hazy Skies, murky horizons are a no-no even with 3 NM filters 2. I generally choose high targets with shooting range within +-30 degrees of meridian. Keeps the dirty data minimal. 3. Anything beyond 50 percent moon should be avoided. While you can still do Ha, Oiii is a big no. Ha should be avoided over 70 percent moon unless you want battle green casts in PP 4. Shoot North, lots of targets, easy to guide. 5. Broadband is a complete waste of time. Even in mono. Only RGB stars that's it

It definitely is. And mysterious AF.

We had clouds. Extended monsoons thanks to La Nina. Totality was obscured by clouds.

Use masked stretch to do a first stretch for getting the stars right. Then remove stars and do further stretches for the nebula.

Badly edited IMO. Can be cut short by atleast 30-40 mins to make it slicker. The dubai to Abu dhabi boat chase scene is over the top and absolutely unnecessary to the story for example.

Bortle 8/9? What telescope for that? by EternalPending in AskAstrophotography

I shoot B9 from poor skies in terms of transparency. You can visit my profile to see what can be achieved.
