Thanks Ric, yeah, there aint that many deep pics of Tarantula around, beein in the wrong hemisphere, but I intend to go deeper yet.
Jase, so many emotes, glad your green with envy hehe, youll get there eventually. Yep, right in the arc/secs sweet spot. Im struggling with external guide experimentation useing the ST80, even with steel square section locking the guide cam to the guide scope clamps im about to give up (you can see it in the equip pic). 20min exposures were OK, 30mins acceptable, but 60 exposures showed up differential flex someink cronic. Of course internal guiding would allow unlimited exposures.
Once I colimate and get the BFD right, then ill see where the money went ;-). The upscaling just reduced pixelation, it didnt cause the softness. I just wasnt game to deconvolute or sharpen further due to the drubbing I would get from your goodself with the inevitable artifacts.
Ive got SII and OIII data, but that does involves processing, stay tuned.
The 10" RC is bigger than the 12"LX, and much longer. And the venerable G11 looks positively overloaded compared to the ME. The RC/Me combo looks so wanky yeah, hehe (sorry about the messy wiring, itll all be thru the mount shortly, man there are SO many wires).
Cheers
