M17

Set up last night to try out the new focuser and see if my flexure issues had improved. What better way to find flexure than longer subs I thought so set up 4 mins with the DSI. M17 was the target this time. The initial exposures looked very promising however the flexure crept back in as M17 moved lower in the west. All up I kept imaging for 2 hours this time making this my deepest/longest DSI image from the burbs.

Comments welcome!
