Decided to test out my new mount and its guiding on the weekend. I was using my 10" SCT at 2500mm and a small 90mm mak (FL1250mm) to guide. I took a 27x1min shot of IC4406 with a DSI II Pro camera and was quite pleased that with EQMOD not only were the gotos acceptable (on the Chip) but that I was able to get the RA and Dec lines of EQMOD to be a flat line with very minimal corrections. Used Alignmaster to polar align.

Took some photos of very small galaxies which I have not processed as yet, but will do so when I get time. I was interested to see that there is some faint detail in this planetary nebula just coming through.

Edit:- Did a slight stretch as I noticed that the ansae were further out than what my first photo showed (its in the middle).
Finally got around to doing two galaxies (NGC7184 & NGC5643) which are attached
