M20

Hello Everyone

It's been a while for me but I'm still here...
I've been working on a home-made observatory during weekends and too hard during the week to save for an upgrade of my mount....ok, enough excuses...

Here's last night's efforts,
M20 at F/10 on the C9.25, on the trusty old CG5 autoguided through a WO 80mm (thanks JohnG) and Toucam using Guidedog. Canon EOS 20Da (thanks Striker) 3x10min and 6x7 min ISO 800.

(Getting Guidedog and my CG5 to work at their best is definitely a "Dark Art", part science, part mysticism (i include the frequent curses in there))

It's still not as good as I'd like it, some trailling showing when I image at F/10. I'm seriously starting to think of a G11, a Titan, an NJP or EM400...

Must get back to my experiments to transform lead into gold...

cheers
frank
