Carinae Nebula

Had the set up out last night again as conditions were great cloud wise, though the jet stream was up around 70 knots. My RC8 is still a little out of collimation, so I still have seaguls and comas, either that or it's the reducer I'm using.
I started imaging around 11 when it was about 25 deg I know isn't ideal but sorted the mount, polar align and guide scope to get 10 min subs.

22 x 600 sec subs and a couple of other subs with various times, Total of 2 hours 24 mins
ISO 300 and 400
Master Darks was from a 300 sec 400 ISO as my camera didn't want to work once I got back inside
Master Bias 400 ISO


RC8 with 0.6x reducer
Canon 700D unmodded
Guide scope with 120mm-s
EQ6 with belt mod
Cartes De Ciel
APT
PHD2
Sharpcap for polar aligning
One laptop ruling it all
