Description

My first real target with a old orange C8 + celestron red ( around 1500mm focal lenght) and a brand new EQ6 ( good but heavy mount )
A nice spiral galaxy , high in the sky  for now . 

i use a 294MM for this .  My frist tries with a 533MC werent very nice, signal too low to make a good automatic focus during the night. 
So i use the 294mm in bin2 mode , which give me nice signal and a reduce sampling rate around 0.6arcsec/px.  My guiding RMS was around 0.65.  I must try an OAG setup ...
