Great work Greg!

Thanks Alex. The TEC180 is a beautiful scope to work with.

That's amazing how you do that Bert. Thanks for the maps I feel more oriented now.

Is that a crop or the full frame?

Oooooh...I will have that camera soon

Full frame dude. The PL16803 is a nice camera. The Apogee U16M was good too but the slow cooling time and weaker cooling was annoying. The FLI has a quieter shutter, faster downloads, even less noisy electronics and of course the strong cooling. On this camera about 51C below ambient. It will be a bit less than you are used to with yr 11002 as of course that chip is half the mass.

As always it could do with more exposure time. Ha I think is the main weak link and it was 1x1 binning. I think 2x2 would have been better.
5 hours total and its pushed a bit. I can probably smooth it out a bit more.

I will have another go at the processing and smooth it out more and see if that turns out better.
