8.5hrs photographing space from home telescope! π π πΈ
It's taken me 3 months over 5 nights due to clouds and work, but I've managed to get 8.5hours of exposure on and around the star SADR.
Using a ZWOasi 533mm camera and a Samyang 135mm lens purchased from I managed to track the sky using a EQ5 mount to capture the faint gasses in this area of the sky which are unseen by the naked eye.
I took 3hrs of images Hydrogen Alpha filter and a Oxygen III filter, then 2.5hrs using a Sulphur II filter (not 3hrs due to clouds)
