Chuck The Faulkes imaging session will be done using a filtered monochrome camera using multiple exposures of various filter options (RGB, OIII, Halpha, and others). Last time we used 16 images with the various filters stacked. We also took luminescence (unfiltered) and will do the same this time.

What is the pixel size of the imaging chip? Is any narrowband imaging allowed? The answers may help narrow the target search. Thanks!

A few of us have been coming up with lists of possible targets to image at next month's imaging session.
But I just realized one thing was not included in the original list of limitations. Namely how small a target size should we consider?
FOV of the scope is 7' x 7' so obviously we can't go over that.
But what about minimum size?
How small a target do y'all think we could work and still get a decent image with nice detail?
Thoughts?
