Description

Last night I had my first light with my new Skywatcher Quattro6 and my new Omegon VeTEC 571 C camera. I tried NGC 6979, known as "Pickering's Triangle". I think the new equipment does a good job. The Quattro6 is listed as f/4, but the platesolving tells a ratio of f/3,45 with the included Skywatcher Coma-Corrector.

My first try failed the night before: I have put an additional distance adaptor of 21mm in the image train and the sensor was 2,1cm to far away. I tried 1,5 hour to get a picture and stopped very frustrated. Later I have found my fault and the second try was successfull
