This was taken with a new camera that I've been testing called ToupTek ATR2600C. I have a full deep dive into the camera in this video if anyone's curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FxuCJSdSlg
The Heart Nebula was captured with that camera and my Askar 71F. Technical details:
* Askar 71F Quadruplet
* ToupTek ATR2600C
* Optolong L-eXtreme filter
* CEM 40 mount
* 48x300s Lights
* 10 darks, 30 flats, 30 dark flats
* Stacked and processed in PixInsight
I also have another 4 hours of this that I need to incorporate into the image. That was taken at a wider field of view.
Happy to answer questions. Clear skies!

The easiest path to a man's heart is through...hey that's the fish head nebula.

From another vantage point, it likely looks like the "kidney nebula". (I choose to believe)
naztronomy
I can see that!

So... how much does the entire setup cost you?

The telescope and mount is $2000. I'm borrowing the camera I used here but the one astrocam I have is another $600. The filter was $200. So about $2800 altogether. Aside from the telescope, everything I have is preowned.
