Description

Image A is the new focuser compared to the one supplied with the scope, it's more robust and can carry 6.1Kg without any flop. This is the final upgrade for a while.

Finally a clear night arrived so made a start on a 4 pane mosaic of the Jellyfish. This is the second panel with 3 hours Ha and 90 minutes of OIII. There was a strong breeze blowing through the night, but the strong northerly was in line with the target so not to many subs were lost. Hard to judge the stars until I get a calmer nights imaging.

Just a quick process of the subs. Combined as a Ha_HOO.
