A pleasing result none the less. Now I assume you've already replaced the clip with an OIII and Ha filter so you should be able to push out a narrowband result soon right?
Cheers jase - you're correct, NB imaging with a DSLR is a chore, but it's the most cost effective way for me to get into it at present. In order to adequately fill the wells (hope that's the right term) I have to image for a minimum of 10-15mins per sub then replace the clip in filter and try to maintain orientation, often over consecutive nights.
All good fun!
I think I'll try the full NB run on something closer to the zenith though - Eta's made a dash for my neighbour's fence by 11pm.
Cheers
Doug
