Got the newt back out (one of my aims for the year) and was impressed with how the heq5 can handle it. spent a chunk of time on another target before bed, but let it run til 4 on the chicken.
I'm hoping there's a baader clicklock available for skywatcher newt focusers, as I can see here the LHS of the image is eggy(er) than the right.
Anyway, I suppose I'll add a lot more data to this, but I like it as a start, especially that bushy ball just above Thackeray's globules.
This was last night, 60% moon, 1min subs on gain 139, a tick over an hour on each filter. 8" f5 newt. Image scale is pushing it at 0.78"/px.
Shout out also to my newt, I still havent had to touch the collimation screws on the primary, and only a couple tweaks on the secondary. I'm falling back in love with it
