MAS dark skies first picture

Here's the first pic I processed from Saturday night. It cleared out around 2:00am and we got very good seeing and transparency until sunrise. I did 50min on Orion, about an hour on M78 and 30min or so on NGC104 prior. Humayun spent a bit of time to teach me how to drift align so my guiding was pretty good that night. Although more data would have been nice the session was a bit of a shotgun imaging in sucker holes until midnight when the clouds thinned out.

This is 50min on M42 at prime focus with the QHY8 at prime focus on my 5" newt in 10x5min. First time I've had a clear run since August so I was pretty happy. Getting back on the bike now
