Ngc3372

Taken with a Celestron 9.25" XLT coated SCT on a paramount MX with an F6.3 focal reducer and QHY8. Off-axis guided with an St-i using direct drive through TheSkyX. I still had to crop this because the field isn't flat, but it's flatter than without the focal reducer.

I used Ubuntu (linux) to post process this, I'm finding it faster than Windows. Programs are GCX Astro-Image Processor, Nebulosity3 (through Wine) and GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program).
