Description

This is a test image, consisting of 10x300S Ha subs, of the Running Chicken Nebula near the SCP. The purpose of the test was to tune the Celestron CGX mount. Taken with an ASI1600MM-C camera, through a 115mm TS Photolline APO, running a f5.5 reducer. Guided with Metaguide, and error plot performance was very good, the best achieved so far. There is still a slight hint of field curvature on the sides and I need to look at my reducer/corrector spacing.
