The Large Magellanic Cloud

After quite a long time getting my new gear up and running, sorting out software, computers, adapters, filters I now have a workable and working system.

Also I was surprised to see some clear skies last night after 9pm at my dark site after overcast and rain the day and night before. It snowed and hailed the next morning so it was a window of opportunity.

Seeing was superb but occasional fast moving cloud and even brief showers kept me on my toes!

FSQ106ED with F3.64 reducer, Apogee U16M camera attached with Precise Parts adapter, FLI filterwheel and Baader 50mm square LRGB filters and Astrodon 5nm Ha 50mm square filter.

Autoguiding by SBig ST402ME camera and Astrotech 66mm ED scope mounted piggyback on the FSQ clamshell.

Tak NJP mount and taken at my dark site last night from about 10:30pm until 3:30am.

Ha LRGB 45 25 10 20 20 (Ha and Luminance 1x1 and RGB 2x2).
