[h0ughy]

just hot off the camera here is 54min of M45. i have been having guiding problems tonight and i must have something caught up or binding causing elongated stars. even re calibrating PHD didn't work. bugger. stacked in DSS and processed in pixinsight

anyway taken with rasa8 and asi294mc:shrug:

Very promising if you can get more exposure time.

Looking good Davo.
Can't wait for you to get more data on this.

:thumbsup:

[strongmanmike]

Bloody Moon :mad2:....and Cassurinas

[h0ughy]

Yes exactly what I thought

[h0ughy]

Hopefully I have to wait for it to clear the power lines and light soup then contend with the ruddy tree

[strongmanmike]

It's a field I have on my (rather long) list of summer fields for the FSQ-16803 combo....but there are so many just around the corner, will all depend on the moon and clouds I guess?..at least I have no obstructions in that direction..or any direction I guess :question:...:P

Hope you do add more to this though, it's a great fov, looking rather promising :thumbsup:

Mike

[h0ughy]

There is always hope, though there is a fire north west of here lots of smoke....

[strongmanmike]

:help:......:rolleyes:

[RB]

That's almost as bad as wishing covid on someone Dave....

:poke: :lol:

[strongmanmike]

I hope you get lots of unbias data Dave :thumbsup:

[h0ughy]

No more data on m45 tonight maybe later on in the week

Nice job from our skies, and we can't use nebula filterers on reflection nebulae like that.
