M45 - Pleiades

My first capture moving to cooled OSC camera, ZWO ASI2600mc. Before this I was using a full spectrum modified T5i. With the canon I struggled to process and get good data for M45. Also moved from SGP pro to Voyager to capture and manage the sequence.

Scope: Esprit 100 ED
Mount: CEM 60
Imaging Camera: ZWO ASI2600mc
Guide: QHY5L-II - OAG
Subs: 320x120sec (Over two nights) Cooled to -10 deg
Calibrated with 30 Darks, 30 Flats, and 30 Flat-darks
Processed in PixInsight.

Beautiful image....

This is on my list to image. Right now I'm imaging the HorseHead & Flame Nebula.

While processing this, I captured Horse Head nebula couple days back. Need to capture additional subs for one more night or two. I got new optolong L-Enhance filter, and wanted to try to capture some subs with that and use it as my luminance part of RGB

Very nice ... A lot of detail in the wisps of gasses.

Beautiful shot!

How are you liking the 2600mc? I've been shooting with the original 1600mm mono camera using filters but I'm looking for a color option for the virtual star parties our club is doing to be able to do some color live stacking when we are streaming our events.

Also, you should look into NINA if you haven't. I've been testing it for a bit and really loving it. https://nighttime-imaging.eu/

I am really loving the 2600mc. I bought the 2600mc and its little brother the 533mc. Prior to that I was using a full spectrum modified Canon T5i. I am really happy with both the zwo cameras. I have used the 533 for EAA and it was amazing to see low noise images being live stacked in sharpcap. For color options, you cant go wrong with either cameras.

I am about to post my next shot I just finished processing. Horsehead nebula. I used 260x120" rgb subs and combined the Red channel from 68x300" subs with L-Enhance filter

I moved from using SGP pro to Voyager. I really like voyager as it rock stable and has good recovery from failure. The best part is the online dashboard where you can view the status of your sequence remotely control using phone, or tablet, and additional options to create scripts to do advanced automation.

Nice image, Monty!

Thanks for the info. i may have to consider the 533. I just can't afford the 2600 at this point.
I haven't tried Voyager but I've just recently started using NINA and really loving that program. It's worked flawlessly and unattended for me on several sessions now. Plus, it's FREE!!
