Atik Infinity Photos (April 6, 2018)
Introduction | Photos | References
On this page I present photos taken with the Atik Infinity camera on April
6, 2018.
Introduction
The following photos were my tenth attempt with the Atik Infinity camera.
- Telescope: Sky-Watcher Explorer 150PDS
- Accessories: Celestron StarSense
Details
On April 6, 2018, the sky was clear again, so that I built up my Explorer
150PDS with GoTo mount. Aligning the mount with the StarSense module
was successful, and I attached the Atik Infinity camera to the telescope and
looked at the following deep sky objects: M 1, M 41, M 42/43, M 50, NGC 2264,
Alnitak.
I do not present the Alnitak photo here, and the one of
M 42/43 is less impressive than the previous attempts. Perhaps, Orion
is already too low at the sky... At least, I am proud that I finally found
M 1 (Crab Nebula).
This time, I was able to confirm M 41, M 50, and NGC 2264 in various ways
(see the respective DSO pages), all other DSOs were free of doubt.
Photos
The following photos were taken with the Explorer 150PDS on the Star Discovery
AZ GoTo mount (with StarSense module) and saved as 16-bit TIFF files.
