Popular Post +RonC Posted May 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2020 This was a new galaxy for me, NGC6946 The Fireworks galaxy and a quick M3. 14 x 240 s lights, 9 darks and 36 flats gain 800.. And a quick M3 8 x 180 s 11 darks and 36 Flats Gain 400 I'm finding it easier to image a globular Cluster and get the focus and alignment right first before I go to the nights target. Anybody else do that?? Cheers Ron 8472, Bassinghamobservatory, +seven_legs and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I've just re jigged my equipment around, using a hoteck flatner instead of the william optics reducer / flatner and struggling to get bang on focus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red dwalf Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 having a go at M3 tonight myself, added 1.5 mm to the flatner distance and seems to be better, still might need a tiny bit more +RonC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
