Watec 120N+ in Brisvegas

Had a go at sveral objects last night to check out several procedures. One was a new polar alignment method and to see if a 102mm achro scope was any good for imaging with a new Lumicon focal reducer.
All photos are a stack of 50 x 10 second subs with dark frames removed. Then into PS for levels adjustment, except for M42 which had a slight unsharp mask applied. NGC 4945 was taken sans the FR.
Was surprised at how some of these turned out but as far as I'm concerned Ill stick to the camera as a guiding camera. It would be interesting to see how deep it can go at a dark site.
