Ngc2264

This is the first image I've taken in quite a while. Had quite good conditions up here in Brissie last night.

This is 25x5mins using the 10" Newt and QHY8 pro. Probably would have been better off with longer subs but still happy with this result. Colour balance has been difficult and I will probably have another go at it.

I've also noticed a bit of elongation in the stars in RA which I suspect is a bit of backlash in the mount so it might be time to get the tools out and adjust the worm mesh.

Comments welcome.
