Back imaging after a break while overseas, and with a gear re-shuffle, so time to share a couple of shots. Preliminary processing only, I am waiting for the dirty weather to give me time to do some more.

NGC253 imaged 29th October, from the backyard. 9 exposures of 600 seconds each. Coma from the f4 scope, but this is now sorted with the Baader MPCC that arrived yesterday.

Helix from last night, 30th October, and the coma corrector really works. 10 exposuers each 600 seconds.

Both with the homebrew 8" f4 newtonion, riding on the AP400GTO, and with the SBIG ST2000XCM. Seeing was less than ideal for both, but you take what you are given.
