Second light - Omega Nebula

Omega Nebula
Nikon D3300
GSO 8" f/5
NEQ6 unguided

36 x 45-second subs stacked in DSS, again with no flats or darks - just wanted to make sure the new OTA was working as it should, with CC in place. Looks like all is okay.

I took 60 subs but the mount is doing its weird thing again and slipping backwards slightly every 7 mins or so, despite a recent strip-down and re-grease. Hand-picked the duds and threw them out.

Next step: guiding. Hoping that will sort out the mount's weirdness. Aiming to be guiding by the end of the month.
