Captured the Tweezers Galaxy last night at my weekender south coast NSW
Conditions were excellent with sub arc sec guiding however CFN had cloud moving in around 9.00pm and yes it did arrive on time so only managed 1hour and a half of data
8” f5 Bintel newt on an EQ6-R Mount
Canon 600D stock camera with Baader coma corrector
ISO 800
23 x 4 minute dithered guided subs
20 x darks
PHD2 guiding 0.80 to 1.00 arc sec error
Goto and tracking EQMOD, StellariumScope and Stellarium ( so good this software , found the galaxy in a minute )
Frame , focus and capture BYEOS
Stacked in DSS
Processed in Startools V1.5 Linear data set

Comments welcome

Tonight’s looking fantastic , at least 10 hours of clear conditions, low Jetstream, 5km/hr wind , 38% moon setting just after 9pm
Saturday night is ok as well
Enjoy if your heading out for observing or imaging !!
