Howdy
While waiting for Corona Australis to transit, I did a quick session on M7 beforehand , rather then muck around imaging Corona Australis only to do a meridian flip.

2x10 mins ISO200, MPCC coma corrector, modded 350D, no filters.
I think I have the tiny planetary nebula M 1-30, indicated in full res. crop image

Full frame full res. image here (http://d1355990.i49.quadrahosting.com.au/Scott/m7x2x10minsiso200unfmod350d10inch11 deg.jpg)

I cant believe how well the MPCC coma corrector works, was lots of coma before I got the Baader MPCC

Fancy, I nearly did that last night too as a first up quicky instead of the Sgr A...well quicky isn't the word RGB = 60 60 60min is a quicky for RGB but it's bluudy more like 3.5hrs or more to actually do with finding, framing and focusing etc :rolleyes:

Very good M7 mate, I like it!

Thanks mate
Its fun to sometime be able to get something without hours gathering the data :)
Also with the offaxis guider, usable stars are plentiful in this area of sky.

Very nice well done I amazed at the number of stars captured in a 10minute sub from a DSLR compared to a 10 minute sub from my OHY8

maybe I should have kept the 350d
