Rigel double - this one is for Ving

Hi Guys,

seeing was not very good so my ventures with the guided dob did not amount to a satisfactory saturn or mars. I got a run of 1400 odd mars images, but they were not better than my non tracked ones, so they were deleted.

What i was very happy with was the start of my contributions for Vings multiple star collection

Rigel is a very nice double: Big Brother / Little Brother. I like to check this out as an indication of seeing and collimation.

This was taken at 208X (toucam at prime focus).There is 120 seconds (600 frames) of video and i only grabbed the first 40. So i may be able to improve on it.

I intend to capture the December challenge double and add that to the collection. The raw mode of the toucam seems to capture the stars a lot sharper for mine

Also with the guiding and raw mode, I will try for neptune and uranus tonight.

Anyway, it is with pleasure I present this to vingo
