Description

6 x 600s each for LRGB. Transparency was not great, SQM was around 20....

But the seeing was very good. Unfortunately all stars ar a bit mis-shaped.

I am working on the spider for the secondary at the moment, I hope to iron these problems out.

The second version is with extra L extracted from the RGB.
