Well ... we all know about the weather ... it has not been good.
Clear night last night but windy/gusty as till about 3 (not forecast :/
so decided to nab some quick data on eta carina and later when it turned still i went for the antennae galaxies.
i have had some tilt issues which became more evident in using the qhy22
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...d.php?t=141200 so got a 2" extension tube to the focuser from moonlite. It may be slightly too long as part of the focuser tube is now inside. i might need to get the 1" externsion tube. I think it is an improvement.
Anyway 2x eta Ha and Oiii (Ha-HaO3-O3 and Ha O3 O3) the antennae is a blend of old DSLR colour data (only about 25 mins worth) and about 40 mins of Luminance from the qhy22 (first time using luminance -still awaiting RGB filter delivery ...).
I might get some S2 tonight for carina if i have time, I really wanted to nab the rosette neb but i'm running out of time (trees!).
