Astrofest NGC253

Just got back from a week at Astrofest this afternoon. We had a great week with clear skies each night and little or no fog.

This year I used my recently purchased Meade SN10 which I bought to battle the Duckadang dew. I was very happy with how this OTA performed including the ability to image all night without dew on the primary mirror. I was also happy with how well the scope held collimation after the car trip.

Here's one from the last two nights - 45 subs (21 x 5min L and 8 x 2 min binned RGB) using the QSI683. All processed in Pixinsight!

Here's a link to the full image:
