Gooday,
I'm on night shift at the moment and I only have Wednesday and Saturday nights free. This last Wednesday happened to coincide with a beautiful clear night.
Not knowing where to find Thors Helmet, I did a precise 2 star alignment on the EQ6 and then relied on its Goto accuracy. As you can in the widefield shot its a bit off centre.
We have 24 five minute subs, 11 t-shirt dawn flats, darks and bias applied.
Don't know where the gradient came from but the last sub was at 3-50 am so maybe approaching dawn could be the culprit.
My stars look like eggs but PHD reported 1.4 arcsec RMS, so i must be flex somewhere.
Thanks for looking
Bill
