What to image this week?
I think I finally have my EQ6Pro drift alignment procedure down, will have the 105/600 scope arriving this week and will be mating it with a QHY8 OSC camera (original version).
Have a QHY5 guidcam up and running, can either guide off axis or with the ED80 as the guidescope. I don't currently have any barlows/powermates etc.
Question is, what target to start with for my first attempts at DSO?
I'd like something that will be a reasonable size on the CCD and is doable from a light-polluted back yard. I've decided to get all my practice in at home on mains power before struggling at the dark sky site out of town.
Any suggestions?
