Hi,

Two years since I've imaged the trio.

Really need to beef up my focuser to reduce flexure with the extra weight of the cooler box. I spent some time trying to clean up the stars.

some nice colour coming through, a few more hours and I should get the faint outer loop on M 66.

8” F/4 astrograph , baader type coma corrector, HEQ Pro 5 mount, orion mini guider.
Camera.
Unmodded Cannon 1100D. Cooler box.

16 x 8 minute subs ISO 400 . Darks, Flats and bias frames applied. Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker .Processed in Photoshop 7 .
Cheers,

Justin.
