A go at the Lagoon. I think ICNR ate alot of data.
at F/9, the exposures i believe need to be much longer, collimation needs to be better.

Not bad actually not longer probably just more of and not using ICNR

Nice shot and excellent tracking. Not an easy one at that focal length. Keep'em coming. :thumbsup:

Thanks all.
It was actually one of the first times I decided to try ICNR.
I wasnt fussed about the final result and therefore tried ICNR for the heck of it; it was more of a guiding test night and in the end it guided better than expected. Very pleased.

Next time, I'm aiming for longer subs with better collimation. :)
Plus, no ICNR. This subtracted a lot of good data I think.

tweaked. :)
(reduced sharpness. thx jeanette)

Nice tweaking with the colour. Maybe a little over sharpened to my eyes.
