Description

This was taken at a recent Star Party camp in March this year and was meant to be a secondary target but as we all know the weather has the final word so it became the primary.

I may update this amage as I am still learning RGB processing.

This is the first image done with correctly taken flats darks and bias frames on an also recent purchase my QSI 583WSG and also its first time on my ED80 as I normally image through my RC8.

I have a side by side setup and will move the camera depending on targets.

RGB subs were 400 seconds L & HA 600

Guiding is OAG with an SX Loadstar and all camera control and guiding is with Maxim DL
