I have been after a second wide-field setup to compliment my VC200L, and recently purchased a 130mm f5 newtonian from Marc (multiweb) here on the Forums, to sit on top of LewisM's ex HEQ5. After a few enhancements, such as Robofocus, a larger secondary, and top/bottom Losmandy plates I was finally ready this week for "first light".
NGC7293 - The Helix Nebula
Exposure details: 102 x 4min dithered subs
Camera: modded Canon 400D @ ISO1600
A bit too much noise to elegantly show the galactic cirrus in this area, however there are hints of the outer Helix shell which I am very pleased about. Still a minor guiding issue to sort out, as there is some elongation in Dec, however this setup shows great promise and I'm looking forward to more.
As always, comments and critique welcome
