War and peace - NGC6537

[pmrid]

It's hard to resist a cold, still, dry night - even when there's a 50+% moon in it. I decided to see if I could push my rig to 20 minute subs tonight and chose War and Peace for the test:

8" Bintel Newt with a Moonlite focuser;
Titan Mount
SX OAG and SXVR_H16.
9 x 20 minute subs (DSS, PS6)

I tried the same target the previous night with just 5 minute subs and the difference is chalk-and cheese.

Nice one, Peter! 30 minute subs next?

Very nice Peter, great detail:thumbsup:

Nice going Peter. I gather the mathematics for optimal sub length for NB mean you effectively go almost as long as you can track for reliably. 20min seems fine no worries on the Titan! :thumbsup:

I thought you sold the 8" Newt with Moonlite focuser years ago Peter? :question:
