All,

The Mallincam DS287 (monochrome or color) camera can make your Obsession telescope even more fun (I use the UC18).? The camera gives you about the same FOV as a 10mm eyepiece.

The ServoCAT does my tracking and the MallincamSKY software can actually de-rotate/stabilize my UC18 to create great photos.

I normally use 5 to 10 second exposures and engage the camera "stacking" of about 10 subs to average out the noise in order to increase the signal to noise ratio.

I used the Optolong LeNhance filter in my Astrocrumb filter slide for the Witch's Broom nebula.

Hi Richard,
it looks very similar to what I see visually through my UC22 (with less brightness on the nebula ;-)) it's a beautiful job.
I have to say that I complemented my UC22 and classic 15 with a dedicated astrophoto setup and this is a very different but pleasant hobby when I cannot drive with my UC to my rural dark site in a region called "le Perche".
Clear skies, Frédéric
