This is a test image of NGC7635 AKA the Bubble Nebula. It is a test of brand new equipment and new techniques. Starting with the mount, Orion Sirius. As the first time I have dabbled with the mount after owning it for a year, I am very pleased with it's performance. The scope: Explore Scientific 102mm APO. A very nice scope at F7. The camera: Starlight Xpress H18, Starlight Xpress slimline filter wheel and OAG with the Loadestar. The filter: Baader HA filter. This test image is a set of 7 - 10 minute lights, 2 darks, 6 flats and 6 bias frames, all of it in Hydrogen Alpha. Processed in Images Plus 3.82. No cropping just reduced in size. I plan to add more time to this and complete the image in HA, OIII and SII before the month is over.
