The sky cleared up yesterday so I decided to set the scope up on the pier in the Observatory.
I got the mount polar aligned and spent a bit of time observing around Orion before deciding to image Eta Carinae. I decided Eta over a faint object because of the close proximity of the Moon to the Crab Nebula which I wanted to image.
Anyway a couple of details.
Celestron 8" SCT on EQ6 Pro. Canon 450D. Guided with PHD. 5 x 5 minute subs at ISO 800. Calibrated with Flats, ICNR Darks and Bias.
Not too happy with it but it was great getting back out there.
