Description

Trying to increase integration time of very short 3h nights (latitude 52N) and making use of having 2 scopes and mounts now I entered my next project íncreasing complexity :-)

I will update this post with images produced by the setup as I move along.

EdgeHD 11 2800mm focal length
AM5 mount
ASI2600mc 
Filterwheel with L-Enhance and Askar D2
OAG with Asi220mm guiding
AsiAir plus for control

and

SkyWatcher 200pds with 1000 focal length
HEQ5 mount
ASI2600mm 
Filterwheel with LRGB
OAG with Asi224mc guiding
AsiAir plus for control

Learnings so far:
- incredible increase of effort
  => I hope routine will take care of that
- herding cats to get both scope in time setup, flats taken, focussed, fine tuned and exact target position planned
  => hopefully settled with routine
- combining 2800mm with 1000mm at least sucks, if not impossible
  => hoping that the 0.7x reducer for the Edge + a 2x barlow would make integration easier
- PixInsight is a diva refusing to acccept flats and darks per scope in one WBPP go
- my wobbling wood deck on my roof terrace is a nightmare if you have to go back to one of the scopes killing the images of the other as well
  => full automation is the only solution here
- so far images do not look promising enough, as I rather get a wide field and a closeup than one integrated image

Any experiences, tipps or dead end warnings I should consider would be most welcome :-)
