Description

A night of first lights!The clouds finally parted on Sunday evening to enable me to put some new gear through it's paces. I think that the combination of Skywatcher Esprit 150, ASI 2600 MM Pro and 3nm Antlia filters is going to be a good one!This is 26 x 10 mins through the Ha filter on the ever popular Pacman Nebula.  This was the first real outing for my EQ6-R also and despite some blustery winds it coped well with the hefty payload, returning around 0.7 - 0.8 tot RMS on the guiding.  PEC training next time out should improve upon these figures.Hopefully the next clear night will happen before the object disappears over my roof and I can grab some Oiii.
