First light in our completed observatory

It's been a while since we have taken any images due to having everything dismantled whilst building our ROR observatory.

At last it's completed !!! ( except for lining)

We had our first chance on Monday to set everything up - alignment collimation focus and guiding. We finally had a small window before moonrise so this is only 7 x 8min lights stacked with 7 x 8min darks.

So nice and easy finishing the lights then just close the roof and set up for darks. All done nothing to pack up then off to bed. Wow it's great

So here is M8 Lagoon Nebula

Canon 40D unmodded Celestron C 9.25 f6.3

7 x 8min ISO800

Full frame at f6.3

Now we need another clear night and hopefully get 20-30 subs which should give us more detail.
