As the moon is waning and giving more opportunities to image i thought it would take the opportunity to take a quick image of this target. The moon did cause some issues, in particular with gradients on the Blue filter but this was never meant to be a cracker. i am still working through some tracking issues with SB and am also starting to think that i need to work on my collimation, it seems slightly out. regardless i am pretty happy with how this turned out given the little time and phase of the moon. all images were taken on one night. 5 min subs LRGB 36:4:4:4 for a total integration time of 4 hours. FWHM was averaging 3.29" so not great but i think that will come down when i get on top of those 2 issues.
image was taken with
AGO 14.5 iDK
PMX+
FLI ML 8300 (Baader filters)
Lodestar autoguider through MMOAG
and a Gemini rotating focuser
