Description

This is FIRST LIGHT with my new (to me) rig:
  • Stellarvue SV130 with 3" Moonlight Feather Touch Focuser
  • AP 1200GTO
  • ASI 2600MM Pro
  • Astronomik Filters
  • ZWO OAG-L
  • ASI174MM Mini
  • Morefine M6 Mini PC
  • NINA (of course)

I am extremely pleased with the 1200GTO's near flawless tracking.  I'm excited to test it beyond these 5 minute subs in the future.  For comparison to my other rig (SV80), I imaged this same target on the same nights.  I used almost identical processing, except I left this version more yellow and toned it down to orange in the SV80 version.  Otherwise, it's a pretty fair comparison.  I love both of these rigs and am excited to see what they produce under truly dark skies.

Oh, and I messed up the flats so these are only corrected with dark frames.  Not bad!
