All beautiful shots Manfred, very natural looking. In paticular I found very good both M13 amd M57, two objects quite difficult to get on film...

Hi all,
 
Yes, it's true, I couln`t resist to the temptetions of the CCD world. I got a good offer for a used starlight HX916 and now I have a lot to learn. The first test shots gave me a good feeling. I made single 10 min shots through my VC200L without any darks or flats. All guided with my ST4 through the guide scope.
 
M57, 10 min at f/9 1800mm:
 
M13, 10 min at f/6.3, 1280mm:
 
Now I've just uploaded a picture of the pelican nebula. It was done with my HX916 through the 6"-Newton f/4.3. I did three images for 20 minutes with a Ha-pass filter from Lumicon. This is the filter for film imaging and it has no infrared blocking. So more light will pass than with a Ha-band pass filter. No darks, no flats. Some hot pixels I removed by hand.

The color information came from an older film image, with the same Telescope on KODAK E 200. You can this image on my homepage at: http://www.inode.at/wasshuber/gallery/pelikan-1.htm
 
The combined image with the CCD-luminance:
 
Comment are wellcome,
Manfred
