Hey guys, I haven't had much time for this hobby over the busy season, hence why I haven't been on the forum a lot lately, but I have found more time over the past couple of weeks, which is a great feeling!
I received my stepper motor kit, and managed to learn SGP. I must say, the autofocus routing is amazing. To be honest, I wasn't expecting it to work as well as it did. I noticed the TOA-150 would drop out of focus quite quickly, which made it impossible to head inside whilst imaging. With the autofocus it stayed in focus the whole night:eyecup:
Rounds stars all the way in the corners too with the 67 Flattener, and my piece of cut drain pipe as a spacer!
I have imaged this one before, but I wanted to test everything on a bright easy target.
It's 5.5 hours at 600 seconds each with the QHY10
I know in my last image i burned out the stars when processing, I tried not to this time, still not good at using the star mask.....think they turned out ok though?
