Description

Clear nights have been non-existent here lately and I still have not given my new RC a proper go. The 23rd of Nov was a clear night with poor seeing and transparency so I decided to refine my polar alignment. Imaging at 1625mm f/8 is not as forgiving as imaging at 571mm f/5.6. I dialed in my PA and figured I would give my old favourite a try before the clouds finished rolling in. This is only 5x120 secs each for RGB, bin 2x2 with a synthetic luminance created from the RGB. Thanks for looking.
