M8 Lagoon Nebula under a Sydney Full Moon
Over the past week or so I’ve been testing and trying to sort out calibration issues with my set up in Sydney and finally found a workable solution.
Here’s my test subject M8 Lagoon Nebula which I used as a test model during full moon phase ( over 2 nights )

50 x 3 min dithered guided subs
40 x Flats
40 x Bias
Goto and tracking EQMOD and Ascom Stellarium
PHD2 Multistar guiding ( 0.70 to 0.80 arc sec error total )
PA was out a bit as I hadn’t checked it in 3 months ( rigs been covered over in backyard whilst I’ve been down south at my NexDome Obs )
Captured with APT
Subs reviewed in Astap
Stacked in DSS
Processed in Startools V1.7 OSC Linear data set
