Hello Folks,
A pair of poor picturs put up in the spirit Alex suggested.
My first ever Hickson object attempt.
Gear
Canon 60Da at prime focus of uncorrected Mewlon 210
Mount: Mesu mount 200 permanent pier mounted in a Sirius 3.2M dome.
Telescope control Sidereal Technology
Go to M17 Cartes de ciel
HCG 63 electronic setting circle equivalent in Sitech


Camera control Nebulosity 3
Guiding PHD2

M17 35 2 minute exposures at ISO 800 (guiding rms about .6 arc seconds)

HCG63 5 16 minute exposures at ISO 800 (guiding rms about .28 arc seconds)



Processing
dark subtraction and stacking Siril
Stretching Nebulosity 3.


There, I think that is all.


Opinions welcome,
Cheers
Chris
