Description

When the skies are heavy with the moon, on this occasion it was at 85% illumination, I try to use such opportunities to fine tune my usage of my new classic Cassegrain, which is 2436mm in focal length, running at f12. I am having difficulty with the guiding at the moment, and this is at binning 1 just to see how it performs. I threw many subs away and I also think the focussing was a bit off, sadly. I also have an issue with elongated stars on the right side - not sure why. My next posting is at binning 3, to see how things compare. I took 57 subs, each at 2 minutes long, using my one-shot-colour camera. Imaging time was 1 hour and 54 minutes. Thanks everyone[size=100]...[/size]
