Ic 4628

[MarkInSpace]

Finally had some clear skies against all odds last night and I managed to schedule in IC4628.
I've been wanting to use dithering, so this is a first attempt. I ran APT and PHD2 with dithering set for every frame at level 5.

Looks like it's working for you. Good stellar profiles and SNR. :thumbsup:
Remaining field aberrations are mostly mechanical tilt and a tad of coma but that's a 9/10 otherwise as far as data goes. You look at the starfield and you notice straight away it's a good capture.

yep, thats a ripper, especially for 90mins!!

Thanks Marc. The dithering was at your suggestion, I think it worked well.
I’ve installed a tilter on the camera body, but haven’t tried setting it up yet.
Waiting for a wave of brave bravado, then I will attempt!!

Ahhh - this is the Prawn nebula - I had tried to image this a while ago - before I was plate solving - and never captured it - thanks for the info!

Most excellent Prawn.
