Description

I recently obtained an older LX200 Meade 10" on a fork mount. I started to look for a wedge so I could use the scope for Photography but eventually decided to remove the tube assembly from the fork instead. The scope is now attached to the NEQ6 mount and after a few difficult start due to focus slipping, I started to use the scope for small galaxies. One of the first targets I wanted was NGC15432 the interacting galaxy in Eridanus. 
The mount was connected to the ASIAIR Plus and the camera was the ASI2600MC Pro. The image was a blend of 60 Light frames of 300 seconds, 30 Bias, 10 Darks, and 30 flat frames. The images were combined in Pixinsight and finished in Photoshop
