OMI Astro

I got a scope from OMI as a complement for my home observatory in the southern hemisphere. After more than 10 months of battling clouds, fog, and Lima’s eternal coastal gloom... we finally had a fully clear night from dusk to dawn! I almost forgot what stars looked like for more than 30 minutes straight So of course—I made the most of it! This image captures the core of the Carina Nebula, one of the brightest and most dynamic star-forming regions in our galaxy. You can spot the famous Keyhole Nebula, glowing gas pillars, and intense regions of hydrogen, sulfur, and oxygen emission. Gear used: - Celestron Edge 8" HD with 0.7x reducer - PlayerOne Artemis M mono camera - Antlia 2” 3nm narrowband filters (Ha, Sii, Oiii) - iOptron CEM70G mount guided through OAG Captured using N.I.N.A. and PHD2, and processed in PixInsight Total integration time: 6 hours (3 narrowband channels) Finally... the stars aligned. Literally.

For a long time, I was thinking about moving my home observatory to a dark skies site. Weather has been so bad for so long that it was frustrating. However, moving all my stuff was not only very costly but also risky since I would have had to move it to a different country. Then, I found OMI Astro. A great alternative and much simpler. No need to move my equipment, dark skies and also, located in the Northern Hemisphere which is exactly what I wanted since I live in the Southern Hemisphere. This way I can cover all of the targets. I started my one-year subscription this week and I must say... I'm having a blast: • Equipment is very good (TAO 150 in my case) • Communication and responsiveness from the OMI team is awesome (thank you Tommy) • Network quality is great • Sky is awesome • I can use the software I want (NINA) and have complete access to the mini pc running the rig. I'm still in the process of capturing data but so far, the experience has been 10/10.
