+Graham Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 As the title says tonight's session was a bit of an accident that turned out for the better. I had been reading up on the different Nebula and found this one. From the description it sounded like a perfect 'new' target for me. A bright Neb with loads of details ect ect. So I lined up the scope and calibrated the guiding. Sitting waiting for the first 20 minute sub to roll in I was imagining all sorts as to what this target could look like. So you can imagine my surprise when up popped the 'Pacman' on my screen. Well I decided as I had made such a mess of my last attempt at this I would leave it be and see what I could do this time. GT 81 Atik 314 L Baader 7Nm HA filter. 12 subs at 1200 seconds No flats No Bias Stacked in Maxim Polished a tiny bit in PS 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
