Ngc 3579/3584

I have wanted to do this shot for a long time, though not having the guiding nor camera to do it, I alway put it to the side for the one night pile! well one night came last night with good seeing, calm cool weather and crystal clear skies! here is the 1st installment of a 5 filter image.

3hrs @ 15min ea qhy9 -25dC bin 1x1 astronomiks 13nm ha filter
EQ6, 254 newt, OAG+402-me

FWHM of the image is 3.6

I have also put in a screen dump to show you guys what im currently guiding on as i havn't modified the height to gain true focus! Love the coma!
