Ngc3324

I was attempting to see if I could cure the flex I suddenly had in my setup by changing the guidescope ring setup as well as moving the SCT focusser from in to out focus limits several times. Now I can do 10 min exposures with no trailing.
Happy again.
I trialled NGC3324 after seeing Peter_4059's shot and managed to get 7x10min exposures with my QHY8 before the rain came in briefly to end the session.
I also played a bit with my flats and took them down to a mean of 24000ADU and that gave me a far better corrected image than I had seen previously.
Any comments welcomed
