Probably shouldn't have posted this one. The night actually started with trying to frame the running chicken IC2944 (which would have been good to test the modded DSLR) but no matter how I turned the camera I couldn't frame it(too large). The trial frames of IC2944 showed fantastic Ha response and nice round stars at the edge of field but I spent too much time on framing. Out of frustration I turned to NGC5139 and took a few frames to try and get something from the night. By that time I think focus suffered a little and so did guiding. The result was as you see but is not a true representation of the capabilities of the APM and flattener. Next post will definitely be with decent integration time.
