Tarantula Nebula

This was my initial target on Thursday night and again SPG framing and mosaic wizard did all the work. Seeing was really good on the night, and getting polar aligned was quick as always with Sharpcap. I was trying a new set up to see how well my guiding would be with my Newt, I'm fairly particular to my alignment with SCP and had my guiding total at 0.22 arc sec which i was pretty happy about. Using the fast scope I also used the CLS filter and I am contemplating trying it out with shorter subs and boosting the count up as well ( it'll be interesting to see the temp of the sensor by changing the length ). But first getting the spacing right with the coma corrector, I had quite severe comas in the corners.

50 x 180 subs
Darks
Flats
Bias and dark flats
