"Whew! A ton of learning went into generating an image of this nebula - the Orion Nebula - where the core of it wasn't oversaturated (because it's so bright). I had to combine exposures from 15s to 500s long to preserve the whispy details in the outer cloud, AND the center of the star forming region. Here it is! With a total integration of 3.6hrs L:3x500s (0Gain) + 20x15s (Unity Gain) R:4x500s (0Gain) + 68x15s (Unity Gain) G:7x500s (0Gain) + 45x15s (Unity Gain) B:7x500s (0Gain) + 29x15s (Unity Gain) Thanks to Jordan and others for coaching me through the minutia and final processing of this guy! Equipment: Scope: TSQ100ED Camera: ASI1600mm Pro Mount: EQ6R Pr Guiding: 50/190mm guide with QHY224MC ZWO LRGB Filters Software: Pixinsight, SharpCap, PHD2, and Sequence Generator Pro" click the image for more info and previous photos.

The September BAS board meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 7th at 7:00 pm, via Zoom teleconference.
Our next BAS General membership meeting will be held Friday, October 9th at 7:00 pm, via Zoom teleconference. This month’s guest presentation is “Touch the Stars” by Tom Field from Sky & Telescope magazine. Read the Calendar of Events below for more information on this intriguing speaker. We do have two star parties scheduled for the month of October, the first of which is scheduled for Saturday, the 10th at 7:00 pm at Dedication Point. The second star party is scheduled for Saturday, the 17 th at Dedication Point. As usual, the Go/No-Go message will be posted to our Groups.io and of course Facebook and twitter @boiseastro. This is a reminder of things to do with membership. As I wrote before, due to the lack of activities for 2020, the board has decided to extend all paid/current members of the Boise Astronomical Society memberships through the year 2021. Membership cards should have already gone out and you will not need to renew your dues for 2021. And don’t forget that after many requests, the webmaster has enabled a link allowing members who would like to renew or join the club may do so online via our website. We do still accept cash, checks, debit/credit cards-via-Square and also securely online. Let your friends and family know. Get out there, explore your universe. David Olsen, President Boise Astronomical Society |
