Ngc 6822 (rework from scratch)

First night out in near two months! Went up to Heathcote for the dark skies, so lovely and dark. Figured that while I was up there I should do something that actually takes benefit of the moonless skies. Had planned on getting a good 7 hours of data on a subject but with a lot of mount issues (the EQ6 just wasn't playing very nice good a good couple of hours) I eventually half gave up with trying to get it perfect and just went with it. Having to get up at 3:30 am to pack up and get back home to unpacked and go to work, wanted to get some sleep

So, there is trailing and I haven't even tried to go over 200s. Less than perfect but just happy to be out under the stars CCDInspector is currently telling me that I have 0.2mm of tilt, I had planned on working on that, need to do it on a non-work night

6x200 RGB
50x200 L

No dithering and no calibration.

EDIT: Just ran a whole bunch through CCDInspector and its closer to 0.5mm off. I know I don't need any packers or anything, just a screw driver to play with the focuser collimation screws and an hour or so
