Description

I intended to image M100 using the Cassegrain last night, but alas the skies were too bad low down, especially for such a slow scope. As I write, I continue to make best use of these clear nights, which end tomorrow,  and I am imaging M100 tonight instead with my 130EDT refractor. As far as last night was concerned, I decided to point to scope towards zenith as my only fairly decent bit of sky was there, and took M97 - pure RGB. I am pleased with the outcome and I managed to get the best guiding out of the scope/mount so far. I took 108 subs at 3 minute each, which works out to be an integration time of 5 hours and 24 minutes. Have a good night and thanks...
