[Startrek (Martin)]

This is the 1st image from my new 8” f5 newt on an EQ6-R mount captured last night in 35km/hr wind and neighbours floods lights spilling across my Scope
50 x 1 minute subs
20 x dark frames
ISO 800
PHD2 guiding ( 1.1 to 1.3 arc sec error )
Canon 600D
Stacked in DSS
Processed in Startools
First time using a Baader coma corrector and boy what a difference to the image absolutely no coma !!!
Had trouble polar aligning this big rig, took an hour but got there ( around 1 arc minute error
A huge improvement to my old 6” f6 , more light , shorter subs , better guiding a nice solid quiet mount. A very happy Chappy !!
