Description

Having lots of light pollution and my share of clouds I am always trying to get more data sometimes not very successfully :-(

So last night I tried a new setup basically 2 Newtonian scopes a 5 and a 6 inch on my old iEQ45 mount. See initial picture.

I used 2 Atik 314L+ mono cams each with HA filters for a exposure time of 2.1 hours . I then combined the images from each telescope and averaged them in Pixinsight for a total integration of 4.2 hours. Then it got cloudy :-(..but I got 4.2 hours of data in 2.1 hours of actual time ! :-) John
