Managed to capture some Cats Paw last night using the QSI through my Meade ED80. Had a lot of issues with the focuser slipping under the weight of the QSI so had to cut things short however I did manage to get 6x5mins L and 10x2 mins each RGB binned 2x2 - clearly not enough for a great image but at least some data to practice LRGB processing.

I need to work out the spacing for the QSI with this flattener as the 10mm spacer I had handy clearly wasn't adequate so ignore the corners.

Pixinsight did the calibration, registration and integration pretty easily however I did the LRGB combine and processing in PS and need to work on this a lot more.

Finally I've resized and compressed the life out of it so all in all a pretty ordinary image!
