NGC6164 - First light

I have had a second hand GSO newt for a while now and have waited to work through some other issues before busting it out. Last night I decided to give it a whirl. So, despite being second hand it is first light for me, it is also first light for NINA for me. I love APT and know my way around it pretty well but there is one bug that drives me nuts and last night was the end of that.


I failed to get a bahtinov mask for it so I am not convinced it is as crisp as it could be but we take what we can get. Today a session with some cardboard and a hobby knife will fix that.



It's only about 1 1/2 hours data for something that's going to need a lot more to bring out the finer detail but it's possible to see some detail is going to emerge later.
