[ASI 178mm-cool] Rosette Nebula

sprinklestudios

New here and new to a ZWO. Picked up the ASI178MM Cooled and have been able to get out a couple times. This is my best shot from the two outings. Rosette Nebula shot in HaRGB.

Mount: Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer

Optics: Canon 100mm f2.8 L Macro

(93) 60s 1x1 Ha - trying for 100, but wind messed up some of them

(50) 60s 1x1 R

(50) 60s 1x1 G

(40) 60s 1x1 B - Went behind the trees before I could finish the last 10.

(100) Darks

(162) Bias - Sequencer Generator Pro crashed on me that's why the odd number.

No flats

Wow - great image.

What did you use to add filters between the Canon lens and the camera? I have a 178MM-Cool, astrotrac and some canon primes and would like to give it a try.

Thank you very much!

I use a Teleskop Service 1.25" Single Filter Drawer System:

I use this adapter for the lens:

If you plan to use your Canon lenses, then I highly suggest a set of these to help with the focus:
