M20 & M22, DSI Color.

Well I've taken the plunge into deep space imaging and found the learning curve steep.

These were both around 30 frames each and 5.7 second exposures and a rough polar alignment.

It's all good fun.

Steep, slippery and expensive! Good start though!

Great stuff mark - there’ll be no stopping you now. And, as Lee so aptly put it, welcome to the long, slippery slope to financial ruin and equipment frustration mixed with guiding hell!

Cheers

Guiding? what's guiding? Now that would break the bank upgrading the eq6 to goto/guiding capability.
