Description

As I've been working through some calibration issues with my new scope I wanted to take a break to get some usable data.  My SHO filters calibrate fine but I've been getting rings in my LRGB data that are not from light leaks.  I believe I've found the solution with very long flats of around 15 seconds.  Initial tests have been good so hopefully some LRGB images coming soon.

Anyway, I know I've shot this target a few times before but I'm very happy with my results here. I think this is my best Elephant's Trunk yet.  I've also just printed out some tri-bahtinov masks with a rotatable zone masking plate that should allow me to easily focus on one collimation screw at a time. We'll see how that goes.
