Hi again.
Thanks for those who have replied thus far.
Andrew - I have to admit that i still have to perfect my alignment and tracking efforts. currently i seem to get to within 10 arcminutes Mel and Maz of SCP and seem to settle there.
Dave - I focus manually using the Luminance filter. i havent refocussed when changing filters and neither when switching to NB filters from LRGB. So i guess it might be worth while getting a Moonlite focuser to automate the process. unfortunately 15-20 min guiding at this time is out of reach for me with out field rotation.
I tried setting up this the QSI 683wgs-8 camera on my Celectron C8 which has a Moonlite focuser but unfortunately there was too much flexure in the image train that made all the stars appear tear drop shaped so i opted not to use the C8 for imaging for the time being.
Sandy - We essentually have the same camera with the KAF8300 sensor. its a great camera so i guess its we need to hang in there to bring it to its full potential.
Thanks for those links Dave.
Take care guys....
