Ngc 4755
I am still trying to get my setup working right with so many changes in one go.
New equipment:
- SkyWatcher AZ EQ6 GT mount
- MicroTouch Focuser with motorised control
- FocusMax
- ACP Planner
- ACP v7 (RC1)
As you can see, I changed an awful lot at once and now have a huge headache each night making sure things go 'semi' right.
The result over the last two nights was a 'semi' okay NGC 4755 - Jewel Box Cluster.
Luminance = 16 x 120s 1x1
RGB = 6 x 120s 2x2
I lost a lot of data due to struggling with pointing repeatability through ACP/EQMOD. My pointing accuracy is over 25 arcmin rather than less than 3 arcmin.
In terms of the actual photo result, I think 120 seconds may be a little too long exposure as the central stars just started to bloat. 90 seconds may yield a better result.
