Description

Still trying to get my hypertuned mount/QHY8 camera combination properly configured. For this image, the guiding finally worked properly, keeping the pointing within less than a pixel for the entire 40 minutes of exposure. It turned out that I had to replace the cable between the guider and the mount. It had caught on the mount during a slew earlier and apparently incurred some internal damage that prevented guiding commands from getting through.

The difference between this version of the Rosette Nebula, taken with the QHY8 one shot color camera, and the other version I have, taken with a monochrome camera using a hydrogen alpha filter for the luminance layer, is interesting. This one is a much deeper image, although I'm concerned that I have "overprocessed" it.
