NGC2264 Cone Neb

Right..I had no idea this was so low but I had really dark skies, it was one of those rare clear nights and I wanted to put the AP Mach1 to use. A first light I suppose but it does need more data.

The mount works a treat. 1 rejected sub all night but will want to look at PEC on this as I think it needs to be redone. Will wait till the weather gods stop taking the Mick for that though.


I am struggling though with star masks in PI. Cant quite get the settings right. I am finding that there are dark ringing artifacts and in fact some look a little square. If I get more data I will be able to drizzle (image scale is 4.5 ish) and that might help. Any guidance appreciated.

Thanks for looking
