5128 & 5139

Grabbed some RGB with this new 12" newt.

Looks like I'm going to need a better encoder for the dome, positional errors build up and eventually half the scope is imagining the inside of the dome I have to force the dome to go home to clear the errors. A 600mm slot and a 400mm tube makes for a tight fit. I ordered some really thin neo magnets today to build a new encoder so this might fix it. A light box is needed badly too. Had a look at el panels but I'll need an A2 sheet and it's just too expensive, so foam board and perspex it will be.

5128 is 8x150sec Lum binx1 and 5x50sec RGB binx2.
5139 is 15x60sec Lum and 5x60sec RGB binx1.

I cropped both for a look see and I think 5139's colours are a bit sus.
