Hi all its great to be back. (Thank you Mike for reactivating my account which was hacked, if you read this by chance)

I'm excited to get back under the stars after may moons now. I think some of the equipment I currently have may need upgrading in the near future, but I was able to produce a nice image. I just did a quick Lum of the Southern Pinwheel, it was more just to see the star shape and detail of my adjustments. I had struggled with tilt and odd shaped stars that really frustrated me over the years, I know these thing don't do your gear any justice. So I currently have that tilt figure down to around 5% woohoo, good enough for now.

Guiding was average on this set of images around 1 arc sec from bush fire smoke.
The other night I was able to get the old neq6 to guide at .3-.4rms which was noticeably better after the rebuild was done.

Equipment:

Orion Optics UK AG10 f3.8
ZWO ASI1600MM Pro
Sky-Watcher NEQ6-Pro
ZWO Luminance 1.25"
Orion Optics UK AG Wynne corrector 0.95x
Orion ST80
Orion StarShoot AutoGuider

Acquisition:

30x60s exposures, offset 50 gain 76 Lum, -10*, HFR 2.83
Total 30mins
Simple progressing in PixInSight.

Thanks for looking, hopefully I can throw some rgbHa next round.
Dan.
