Description

8” Edge HD, ASI294MC Pro, OrionHDX110 Eq-G, Cel. OAG, ASI174mini, NINA, PHD2, Optolong 2” UV/IR.
164 light frames (8.2 hours) over several nights
Seeing was good to average & guiding RMS was generally .4” - .5”      Dithered in RA only.
Calib. & stacked in AstroPixelProcessor, tweaked and cropped a bit in PS CC.I think my collimation could be tweaked a bit to sharpen and my sensor (after doing sensor analysis using NINA Hocus Focus) is a little off – which I don’t really want to mess with right now – because it did not show much tilt and I don’t have a photon cage. Stars at lower right are a little wonky.

Would be interested in any comments and criticisms.
