Sticking with the program.
Really desperate to use that new scope so I managed to image last night above Crux in a hole in the clouds that stayed relatively clear until midnight. I wanted to do the HH in Orion but that part of the sky stayed clouded all the time. So 14x 5min. This is hydrogen alpha with a QHY9/FSQ at prime focus. Little noisy in the dark bits but still pretty happy with the results. Still having teething issues with the mechanical arrangement for focusing so I'm convinced it's not 100%. Still bloody sharp though.
Big one is a 4MB (1:1) JPEG here
Enjoy the view.
