Description

First test colour run with new optics.
Initially started with 32 x 60 secs of IR, which came out well, so added 8 x 60 secs each of RGB binned at 2x2 for a total of 54 minutes of imaging time.

All hail the Altair magnetic filter - it is absolutely magic!
In addition, the USB powered celestron focuser is fast and efficient, once you have figured out how to attach via ASCOM to use from within AA8.
A quick focus check was completed after each filter change was made. 

All images are managed, and taken thru AstroArt 8.
