Description

Shot with my Askar FRA300 and  ZWO ASI 294mc Pro and Optolong L-Ultimate on the one night in the last 6 weeks where it was clear.
Due to the weather being fickle I took out my eq3 go to mount as it is portable and super quick to set up and with the eqmod cable I attached it to the asiair polar aligned to with 0.2 arcseconds and then took 30 3 minute exposure. Due to this mount being unused for a few years it had stiffened up so that guiding varied from 0.8 to 17  so I had to delete 16 images. I have since taken the mount apart and regreased and re-torqued all the components so it is not as stiff as before, Eventually I'll get some bearings and supertune it
Considering the small amount of time this image was acquired after all the mucking about (70 minutes in total ) It turned ou ok
Stacked and drizzled x 2 due to undersamp0ling of the camera at 300mm  in Astropixel processor then into pixinsight resampled and processed as per normal in pixinsight using new methods etc.
all the different Xterminators were used and final processing in Photoshop for tune up.
So for 70 minutes it is a decent image. Mainly due to the ASIAIR, the 294mc Pro and of course the beautiful and amazing FRA 300 by Askar.
