Thumbs up NGC 1977 Running Man

First go at this target and first go with using EQMOD pulseguiding.

Spent the first couple hours of the night playing around with EQMOD before starting imaging. Very happy with EQMOD and pulseguiding so far. Got me round stars.

Was a pleasure to process as I suspect the number of subs really helped (over 2hrs worth). Would've of captured more but the Running Man disappeared behind the house.

Anyway here are the details.

Celstron C8 f/6.3 and EQ6 Pro with EQMOD
Guided with Pulseguide through PHD
Canon 450D
28 x 5 minute subs at ISO 800
Calibrated with Darks and Flats
Stacked in DSS and processed in PS CS3

Larger image here (2000px) Can't pest me about the image size anymore. Finally updated my webiste.
