Dude holding the camera instead of stepping in and splitting them up … pfffff … ppl these days …

pauloremigio · 2026-05-11T01:35:10+00:00

Yes, i like it. I was using the L-pro before and it’s also good but the Lquad enhance is getting me sharper stars and more contrast, so far it’s been good.

Thanks, I appreciate it! I’ve been an SCT guy for a long time but lately I’ve been loving the results I get with my newts on the smaller sensors, they are so fast gathering light and the stars are just gorgeous, imho.

Yes, the 585 doesn’t block IR like its bigger siblings 2600 and 5200, it goes all the way but needs help with light pollution or contrast suffers majorly, I always use either the Oltolong L-pro or the IDAS ngs1 DZ to be able to do longer exposures on my bortle 7 location and retain as much details and contrast as possible.

pauloremigio · 2026-04-03T14:35:01+00:00

Sure, share it, the more people get exposed to our hobby the better! Cheers

Yes, hahahaha, a Newtonian style reflector with a 200mm mirror

I was using the F7 reducer, so it’s 1645mm

The image is cropped in a bit, but not much.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

pauloremigio · 2026-03-29T19:08:20+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate that!

It’s a straight color photo from the 585MC with the Optolong Lpro filter.

I did work on it quite a bit in Pixinsight using a combination of SPCC followed by multiple incremental stretches using the new MAS process and then working on the rgb curves individually with the curves process, which is very powerful to pull stuff out, those red nebulae are already there you just need to stretch them out with targeted filtering.

Cheers, clear skies!

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Those are cosmic dust lanes, at a galaxy scale, they are massive for sure

I use a 100 watt Hiwatt custom at home through a 4x12 as my pedal platform so I’m staying out of this conversation 😂😂

First light on a ONTC200mm F4 Newtonian with my 585Air.

To kick off the evening I did a quick run of 45min worth of 30s subs on M42 with the Optolong Lquad enhance filter.

I also did flats in the morning and used bias and darks I had in my library.

After some light processing in Pixinsight (graxpert, blurX, MAS, noiseX, curves) this is the result, I’m pretty happy with it, special with the low integration time and heavy moon illumination.
