M20 Trifid in between the clouds
This Winter, the weather on the east coast is so unpredictable / changeable you just have to go for it and capture what you can, otherwise your rig will never get used. Unlike last year where I did plenty of all nighters throughout Winter
Spent 2 nights this week capturing M20 between the clouds and managed only 104 x 2 min usable subs out of 142 captured
Sydney Bortle 7/8 ( thankfully new moon period )
Atmospheric conditions good
6” f6 GSO Newt
EQ6-R Pro mount
ZWO 2600MC cooled to -10C Gain 100 LRN
No filter ( just internal UV/ IR cut )
TS GPU coma corrector
104 x 2 min dithered guided subs
40 x Flats
60 x Bias
EQMOD, Stellarium, APT
PHD2 Multistar guiding ( 0.50 to 0.60 arc sec total ) really nice conditions
Stacked in DSS
Processed in Startools V1.7 OSC linear data set
Comments most welcome
Thanks
