Description

Last evening I was testing my new guide setup with the Meade 8x50 Finder Scope. I decided to take out  the SW 102/500 Acromatic refractor just to have a lighter load on the mount.
The guide results were fine but the sky was cloudy with half moon and a really bad seeing. Anyway I tried to take some frames to test and I have to admit that the result is really decent despite the bad conditions.
I'm struggling a lot with flat frames but for this picture I have experimented a new approach: I stacked all light frames without registration and due the clouds and the moon the result was a really good synthetic flat with the right color balance. 
I have to construct an RGB panel for taking good color corrected flats!
Stay tuned!
