Smile First Time Autoguiding very Happy =]

G'day IIS,

Had some imaging success out at Pauls place in Coolabine last night. We managed to set up the autoguider for the first time with some brilliant sky.

First was the Tarantula Nebula in Dorado. Was great to finally do 10 minute subs. 6 x 10 min subs @ ISO 800 I was very happy with the results =D

Second was the Horsehead after some GOTO alignment issues. 3 x 5min subs @ ISO 800. Had trouble processing this one. Seemed like I cut out too much.

And when the moon destroyed the DSO's I got a video of the moon through the SAC 4.2. Out of 1000 frames, 465 were used. Stacked using registax did a bit of sharpening in photoshop I don't know if i did to much sharpening.

Gear used is in my signature

It was great to finally get the opportunity to image again. Hopefully tonight will be ok too

Thanks to Paul for all the help, and Adam, it was good to see ya again Hope Friday turns out to be a gooden.
