Keyhole in IR

Got the CN-212 out to play Saturday and Sunday. Beaute night Sunday, Saturday very very windy until 2:00am but it was good to set up, balance everything and star guiding, etc... Sunday was a breeze in comparison.

So I managed a bit over 2.5h, 35x300s of the best subs. Seeing was alright on Sunday as well. Got better as the night progressed. Guiding was ok. The G11 behaved. I just need to find a system so I can focus the lodestar easily, maybe a threaded ring to move it up and down. At the moment it's a bit of a pita.

I attached a couple of 1:1 crops of the good bits. Too little data yet to do any meaningful sharpening so this is straight off the stack.

1:1 here [3336x2496 - 2.5MB]

HD here [1920x1437 - 846KB]

Left the scope setup and want to get more data tomorrow night. Might also do a groovy blend with a Ha channel I have with the same scope later on.

Enjoy the views.

Added Ha IR color blend
