Still testing out various pieces of equipment in varying combinations.
I had a little bit of clear air last night in Brisbane and decided that since it was just past 9:30pm that M66 had transited and so decided to image it with the QSI583 camera using my 10"SCT at native focal length.
I had previously used the demo version of Pempro2 to critically align my observatory mount to the pole and so after rebalancing for the 10" found that my guiding was the best that Ive ever had using PhDguiding and a separate 72mm WO guidescope. In fact it was a total doddle to image at 2500mm for 10 min subs.
Anyway after M65 approached the neighbour's roof I decided to do flats, etc with Nebulosity 3 and shown below is the resulting 1hr40min of subs.
Im continually amazed at the detail this scope gives with the 8300 chip.
Comments welcomed.
