My First Image of The Fighting Dragons Nebula with my Twin Celestron RASA 8 Telescopes

NGC 6188 is a stunning Nebula region also known as The Fighting Dragons Nebula. Something I haven't imaged before and after this imaging session it may well be one of my favourites!

QHY294C In RGB - Exposure Time 90 Seconds (5 Hours)
ZWO 294MM In Ha - Exposure Time 90 Seconds (4.25 Hours)

It’s certainly a great target to capture down this way especially with the “egg” included in the fov - love the nice rich colours in your image.

Awesome to see the behind the scenes mate and the final image is stunning!

[DavesAstrophotography]

Excellent result Steve! Lovely colours in that.

[Astrobloke]

Loving that image. Those 2 rasa’s sure pull in the details

Woah, that image at the end was amazing. Great work Steven. At the moment I am actually photographing the Large Magellanic Cloud with my Canon EOS 200D and Rokinon 135mm F2 on the Star Adventurer 2i. I’m only 15 years old and I absolutely love this hobby. Thanks you so much for inspiring me to do greater in my astrophotography, and keep up the great work!

I love this target - have yet to do it any justice myself. Great to see what you achieved even with relatively few frames, including the Dragons Egg down the bottom

Cracking image that Steve you gotta be happy with that mate & a great video to.
I'm currently imaging M101 with mine I know RASA's aren't the best for galaxies but it's a first light since I had all the headaches with fitting of the autofocuser etc, so far its looking good so fingers crossed.

Hey man how are you
Let me tell you something i seen allot of photo with the rasa 8 but your photo is just amazing and very clean nice quality good job man keep up the good work

[ASMRaphael]

Astounding video :) So super good and so interesting :)

[starsips]

Hey Steve, is the ECCO2 compatible with the Celestron Focus Ring's temperature probe?

[What_I_Make]

I think you would be better off with a Roll Off Observatory for your setup, or maybe it is your workout training. Nice work though.

Hi Steve, my wife wants to know how much the total price of the 2 RASA and mount, computers etc is . As we have a bit of a guessing game going on . I had to show her your image because, to me its really good and she liked it as well. i'm not so sure my 6d modded could keep up ? hahaha.

Nice guitar music, whats the name of the music?

Great images. For me don't have the patience for astrophotography, but so EAA instead and sharpcap does rhe live stacking, so no need to have individual frames stacked, with sharpcap. If I like what I see, can just hit the option to save image and saves as on stacked png image.

Also adjust the histogram on the fly, so like adjusting a radio to get your best image.

Can be in and outside in a couple of hours and can view several objects in that time with near real time viewing.

I know these Stellina and Vscope, etc are really glorified EAA telescopes.

EAA will never match your results, but if I can enhance my views with EAA then cuts through light pollution and still better than visual astronomy.

Still if you have the patience then of course get far better results with astrophotography.

Love your videos? Maybe some stage you can explore EAA and would be interesting how twin Rasa's could be made to work as one scope?
