Thanks Alex
I’d like to image this region again with my L Extreme during the dark as moon glare does play havoc with your colours using a OSC
The NexDome Obs has so many benefits ( not sure about a cubby house for the grandkids, although they would love to use it as one ) You really take it for granted after using it for several months.Also having the second laptop inside the house and controlling everything using Windows 10 Pro Remote Desktop is fantastic. My automatic dome rotation control system I designed works well but has its deficiencies especially when objects are above 70 degrees in Alt ( I have to check the position of the opening and rotate it every 20 minutes or so until the objects descends below 70 degrees , then I can switch the auto system back on.
As far as my gallery of objects I think I’ve only imaged about 20 or 25 with the 2600MC which I’ve had since August 2020. So many more objects to image and if I ever go Mono in 2022 , I’ve got to start all over again
It’s an endless hobby ..... time, clear nights and money the governing factors
Thanks again
Best
Martin
