Description

2nd light for my TS Hypergrpah8, and I tweaked the collimation a little on start tests.  Still have some tilt (I think ) to go, although the best focus is alway on the western part of the chip (after after meridian flip) which has me scratching my head a little.  

Anyway, I hate losing good time sky and so I ploughed on regardless.  I chose the Running Chicken  because it has a bright star at the centre (to help with the collimation) but I do like this part of the sky, even if I have imaged it a few times before.  To change things up a little, I present it "south up' where the Running Chicken looks  - to me - a lot more menacing.  More like the top half of Pterodactyl rising from the depths into a blue sky.  And a precursor of things to come (Dragons of Ara) in a month or so.  

Ha 16 x 300s  [cut short by a poor meridian flip form ASIair] 
OIII 19 x 300s
SII 17 x 300s
