Galaxies galore
Managed to get out last night with the WO ED80 and watec 120N+ camera togo trolling for galaxies. I wanted to test the pointing of the mount with ECU planetarium program and some other bits and pieces. It was a rare night where every object wound up on the chip after polar aligning the mount and doing a three star alignment.
Photos are 100 frames of 10sec stacked with dark frame removal. I could have taken longer integrations but I wanted to do as many as I could. Ive sent them as negatives as some of the satellite galaxies are very faint and a strecth for this type of imaging. For a very small lightweight camera this is a real gem.
Regards, Allan
