first m20

[blink138]

hello members
in perth at the moment we seem to have only one or two days each new moon for some decent nights
anyhow saturday was one of them
here is my m20...... the first time i have seriously tried to get some data
c11 @f6.3 20@90secs 1000d unguided DSS
i think f6.3 is a lot harder to stack nicely than others as i always seem to have a reverse hole where the centre is brighter than the corners... oh well
