Description

M82, first project with my new 10Micron. What a joy after one year of frustration with an iOptron CEM70. One or two days to learn operating the mount and the thing just works. Even with the floppy mirror of the EdgeHD11 using a sky-model works very well.
The RGB I did unguided 120 seconds. For Ha I guided with a 30 second interval and 10 second guide exposure to average the seeing.
Integration time is way to short (isn't it always) but it was about all clear sky there was last month.
