yep i know another one..... my first though and i will only post one

9 frames 360 sec, 14 dark frames, 350d unmodded, 12inch newt

Actually wanted to do something else comet46p but due to burning off bushfire smoke couldnt find it so went south to clear sky.

good oportunity to try new guiding program and use dmk for guiding ...pretty happy with results. ......... off to bed now gotta get up 5am to go to work

Excellent result! Great star colours and nice round stars! Looks like the guiding worked a treat.

What program did you use for guiding? Did you guide through the ED80?

i tried phd as it was recomended and it works a treat, the dmk as it has no bayer array could have provided abetter result too, its probably the best tracking ive ever had with no movement over an hour.:eyepop:

12 inch is f5 just the bintel dob version.

guided through the ed80
