Tak 2!

Some more of the TSA 120 from Hobart. Canon 1000D at 21'c, was quite intermittently cloudy so my NGC 4038/9 was limited to 3 hrs 10 minutes. As you can see you really need more time/ or a CCD camera for this distant target. Because of the clouds I swung around to old fave Eta to see what it was like through the TSA 120. Here is the keyhole at around 60 minutes.
All at 400 iso, five minute subs with darks.
Seeing has been soupy these past few nights which was a disappointment as the sky started off quite clear.
Oh well. Anyway the QHY 8 is on the way I believe so watch this space.
Cheers
Graham
