Description

NGC891 and few neighbors. I recently rebuilt my CGX-L mounting (down to the last nut and bolt). Over a 4 night imaging run I captured 263 5 min subs. Dropped only 6 subs total over the 4 nights, keeping 257 subs. Now this was only at 915mm FL and a 3.75micron pixel, but I am very happy with the rebuild of the mounting. I will do the same rebuild on a CGX mounting hoping for similar results.

Captured some of the dust cloud in a 21hour 25min stack.

This image was generated with the AutoIntegrate script and PixInsight. I stacked everything with PI then ran the AutoIntegrate script on the Master generated from preprocessing. I did tweak the defaults put it only took 5.5 minutes to execute. 

25 Flats and Flat-Darks from each of the 4 nights and a 300sec MasterDark from my Dark Library.
