NIR Enjoyer

[velvet cipher]

and reflection neb shows up well in ir so why would i need blue anyways

[frail mantle]

sounds awesome ngl

[velvet cipher]

frrr

i just need to scrape together £800 and im golden litterally

[frail mantle]

lmaoo

just need a sensor with good nir qe then

[velvet cipher]

500 for primary and 200 for secondary then other expenses for construction of the ota

[velvet cipher]

the 585 is probably best i can do for now

[red ruin]

Why not aluminum coating for the secondary

[red ruin]

Wait for starvis 3

[velvet cipher]

planned on dw

[velvet cipher]

because any yumminess from the primary is lost

aand also i want it to look complete

[red ruin]

Fair

[velvet cipher]

i should gold wrap it too

flattened out gold would look nicest

[red ruin]

Yup

[velvet cipher]

i need to hang the secondary with brass wires too

some decent thickness but not too thick

[red ruin]

Nuh uh

[velvet cipher]

what should i use?

[red ruin]

That will create ghosting

[velvet cipher]

just regular black whire?

[red ruin]

Yup black is best

[velvet cipher]

flock the inside too

[red ruin]

The inside should be nothing but black except for the mirrors

[velvet cipher]

yess

ive just thought of something dumb for solar

what if someone makes a mirror

then coats it with something that only reflects a 1nm bandwith of ha

[red ruin]

Too expensive

But if you had the bread for it then yeah i dont see why not

[velvet cipher]

im sure someone will want that some day

[bleak violet]

Forgot to post my NGC 5434 field image here

[velvet cipher]

🤤

[bleak violet]

NIR+L composition. Not really satisfied with the data quality tbh

but also this is just stretched without further processing

[frail mantle]

Very sexy field

How much Data did u get in this?

[bleak violet]

About 4 hours each of IR and luminance

I do like how the colors turned out though. Guess I can cheese a color image with I/L composition

Wait that looks off

There we go

[bleak violet]

Now with a smidge of actual effort put into it

I think I just need more IR integration primarily to cut the background noise

It's still not as efficient as the luminance filter in dark skies is

[frail mantle]

I Like the tidial Stream that is getting visable

[velvet cipher]

i need gahd dahm mono

so i can do IVU
