Popular Post +Derbyshire Dave Posted January 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2020 I've been out of the game for a couple of months due to mount problems, so it was lovely to see a clear night on Monday. Taken with the GT81 and field flattener, this was 17 five minute exposures, with darks and flats applied. Stacked in DSS, then processed in Photoshop. tuckstar, Bassinghamobservatory, Clive and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Derbyshire Dave Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 Hi Dave The mount blew up twice, the first time inexplicably, the second time it was traced down to a wrongly wired dew heater band (12V on the outside shell), shorting out the power supply, which was the same supply which connected to the mount. Shorting down the PSU to the mount must have killed it. I must thank Rother Valley optics who fixed it twice with no charge, they were brilliant. So, fingers crossed, back in business now. Just need some clear nights. Bottletopburly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Excellent image Dave. It was a image of the Rosette Nebula taken by Channel Island amateur astronomer Jean Dean that was featured as NASA's image of the day on 12th April 2019 that set me back on the road towards deep sky astrophotography. +Derbyshire Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
