Mixed results with my wide narrowband imaging. I can definitely see all the structures I expect, but whilst the oxygen data (blue and green channels) is in perfect focus, the hydrogen data (red channel) is a blurry mess. Not sure if that is because of chromatic aberration and/or lens back focus or because of internal reflections.

Still, it is what it is. And it is this: the Vela Supernova Remnant and Gum Nebula(e), the Southern Milky Way from Crux, via Lambda Centauri to Eta Carina, and the center of the Milky Way in Sagittarius with Lagoon, Trifid, Eagle, Swan and Star Cloud.

All these are 24 x 300 seconds of data with a Nikon 50mm lens at f/4, Altair Astro 6nm dual band filter.

@cafuego No bad images at all, I like em!

I'm a bit curious, you're shooting Mono, right?
And I assume you're using an adapter for an Astro-Cam to DSLR/DSLM lens?

Edit: Just read it again and youre using a Dualband-filter, so more likely colour?

@chrizzly_astrocg Yes, I’m using an ASI 294MC Pro with a Nikon f-mount to M42 adapter with 2ā€ filter holder in it, and a Nikon 50mm f/1.8 lens (but stopped down to f/4)
@cafuego Ah okay šŸ‘
I was initially having problems with my Samyang 135mm (Sony), ASI-183MC-Pro and 3D-Printed adapter, too. But that was more a question of generally achieving focus, not taking filters into account
@chrizzly_astrocg I’m back on the 2000mm Meade now so it gets to be a problem for future me :-)
