Hi all
After moon and weather delays finally got to catch some photons again.
Decided to try for the Eagle nebula
7x10 mins ISO 200. Only uv/ir filter used. Modded 350D, MPCC coma corrector. 10 inch f5.6 newtonian. Hand off axis guided as usual with Q guider cam.
I would have got much more nebulosity without the filter but wanted to see if I could get a less monochromatic image.
Sky transparency was quite good (for Newcastle) but wind buffeting was a nuisance
Was a pleasure processing it on my quad core box. Iris ran much faster, and unlike my single core box I could actually still use the pc, in fact I had the Olympic closing ceremony in HD on Prime running at same time
