First NB images with renewed setup
« on: 2017 September 22 14:39:28 »
After much planning and a significant effort, I managed to renew all of my setup. Starting with my AP167 FLZ, which I have introduced to you already, I now added an AP1100 CP4 mount, and an Apogee U16M with deep cooling and a populated 7-filter wheel! This is no small feat for someone based in Argentina (anyway, not without breaking many banks!). I was able to take advantage of some level of mercy from the local customs, after being stationed in the USA for almost 2 years, which I took full advantage of.

A cooled monochrome CCD with NB filters allows me to start exploring the possibilities of NB imaging from my LPed backyard. These are my first two attempts: an SHO M16, and a bicolor Helix.

Hope you like them,
Ignacio
