Wind Swept Cosmic Mountains BBW 56

This was a look see wide in planning to see what is about, this formation as a surfer stood out as a shark fin. You are looking at an area that is not normaly imaged if I had not got out to a wide view I would never have seen it at all.



So I had to wait for this to come up, you are looking at a panorama of 3 vertical shot to get the whole mountain in. This is a very Hydrogen rich area hence all the red so this is in the pallet Ha Sii Sii all red components.

Mid way I got the remnants of a cyclone but dumping Clouds and rain down our way. So I got the chance to bring in the Scope to clean the Mirrors and then rebuild ready to shoot again.



This is the lining up with the camera that sits in the Focuser looking in (The Red part in the middle ) all the part are rebulit to match the circle of the bottom of the focuser. its worth noteing the mirror in the picture is eliptical not at all round you have to get the view round ( see shot below).... that is the black frame in the middle with a view of the main mirror in view and the red camera and sensor. The main big area of white is a A4 sheet of white paper so the small secondary mirror stands out.
