Popular Post Peter Shah Posted September 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2018 Great night last night Managed to get just enough for this one. I let it pass the meridian with less than an inch to spare before fouling the mount. I was going to do a meridian flip and carry on but the haze came in so I parked the scope and called it a night. I think the noise levels are acceptable and will probably shelve this data and move onto something else. I used very loose G2V exposure weights for the RGB, Exposure times were 5x600in Red 5x420 in Green 5x560 in Blue and 2x1800 in Ha Thanks for looking ? +RonC, Sheila, Bottletopburly and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Martyn, I'm very pleased with the result, I've been fighting guiding issues, first was the RA which I resolved with a replacement flexi coupling, but now its the Dec I'm getting lag in the motor. Although it was guiding okay last night the Dec motor is getting warm so I'm still trying to resolve the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
