Description

This started as a quick test of using my 2600MC for galaxies but I had so many problems with the data it has taken over 2 weeks to fix the problems, stack and finally process the data this afternoon.  The flats would not correct properly, then biggest issue was some kind of stacking pattern noise. The right at the end whilst building darks and bias library my 2600MC sprung some kind of an oil leak that has run across the sensor. Apparently its a known problem in early copies of the camera - thankfully FLO replacing it with a new one next week.
