Hi guys,

This is the first time I saved my subs in RAW, didn't realise DSS supported Pentax RAW. I thought the astronomy DSLR world revolved around Canon.
I got my drift alignment spot on, Eta Carina was 30 x40secs, with 15 secs gaps between each and dx (DEC) in DSS was only 9 pixels start to finish, dy (RA) was 100 though. Guess I'll have to get my PEC trained now.
I also took 20x 40sec darks for both photos.

Equip
Skywatcher 200mm F5 Newt, EQ6
Pentax K100D DSLR ( uses the same Sony chip as the QHY8L)

I was chasing Dew all night with the hair dryer, thats why I think the focus is a little off.

I'm happy with the outcome, but still lots of improvement.

Regards
Bill
