Last night I set up to image RCW 32 in Vela, but high cloud moved in. I kept going hoping Id get something as I could still see the guidestar! Its a pretty faint nebula to start with at best of times, but looked bright enough on my earlier widefield Ha image of the area.
3x15 mins ISO 200 (45 mins total) with 10 inch F5.6 scope
I will see about re imaging this next clear night, the off axis guider is set on the guidestar position so should be just a matter of finding the nebula and I can use the same guidestar, I will endevour to give it an hour in total with (hopefully) a clear sky this time. Its in a good spot in the sky too, I can start on it as soon as its dark and be packed up and inside by 9 pm
