Description

First attempt at using my new Astro-Physics Stowaway for astrophotography. It is mounted on the 6" Starfire EDF and uses the new ASI2600MC Pro for RGB imaging. See here: https://www.astrobin.com/rjr6ca/I/?nc=user

Also first steps in using Voyager's Array features for two scopes imaging in tandem with focusing, guiding, dithering in full synchronisation.

Quite pleased with the sensitivity of the ZWO CMOS - it captured vdB126 in less than 3hrs! Several versions included in this image with L coming from the April frames taken with the Moravian G4-16000 and all colour with the Stowaway and ASI2600MC. L taken at 1300mm (1.43"/px) and RGB at 490mm (1.58"/px).

There are still some backfocus spacing issues for the flatteners/reducers but with the size of these cameras they are very difficult to fully address.

Also target imaged at less than optimal altitude (40-60 degrees only) but as nights get shorter in the UK, this is the last chance until August when it will be in the evening sky and suffering from more LP.
