Description

Pier 4 at Roboscopes in Spain, is a ZWO ASI-2066MC Pro OSC, with a Sigma 105mm f/1.4 lens stopped to F/2, an Astromechanics focuser, guided with a ZWO ASI-120 Mini and ZWO Mini guide scope, on an Astro Physics AP900 GTo3 mount. The mount actually runs unguided, so the guide scope is in there only as a backup. I used 210 subs of this, a mixture of 60s and 120s, creating an integration time of approximately 5 hours.

I really like these widefields - something I could never achieve here on the windy, light polluted south coast of England - but I am not complaining… well maybe a bit.

Take care everyone…
