NGC 2442 with a 10" LX200
Heres a picture of NGC 2442 which i took about a year ago with my 10" LX200 classic at f/6.3 .
I took 40 images at 1 minute each then stacked them in Maxim DL 1 dark frame was taken only, and just a little enhancing, but basically not really touched too much.
NGC 2442 is an 11th Mag Galaxy only 6 arc min diameter, so the little 10" really did a good job, as well as the camera.
To focus i used a simple Hartman (Kwik Focus) screen, then snapped away.
Scope was in Polar mount setup, and in a suburban sky.
I would like to take this same shot with my new 14" RCX and compare the 2..
Sometime very soon i think.
