Well, I am finally back at it again, thanks to a new rig (but same mount) and finally decent weather.
This is just 30 minutes of H-a (7nm Baader)
FSQ-106ED at f/5 on the trusty Vixen GPD2 - The Little Mount that CAN and DOES
SBIG ST-8300C (YES, OSC with H-a filter)
10 minute exposures, PHD2 guiding ('cause MaxIm went nuts), 3 exposures total. Got another hour to go hopefully before it sets too low tonight.
So, here it be, uncleaned, practically unprocessed except for a stretch in CCDStack post stacking. Focus might be a smidgen off, but it is focused by hand with an f/8 Bahtinov (
). Might afford Sharpsky soon...
This is typed outside next to the rig while it continues imaging the chook.
This shrunken jpeg is all ya get till I at least get 3 hours on this bloody chicken!
And look at that - the whole enchilada fits in the frame. Ah, f/5... wonder how it'd look t f/3.65...
