First Light RC10.

NGC104. Taken last night under a very bright moon. More of a test image than trying to create a great image. Comes complete with dust bunnies and all. I need to experiment a bit more with Flats but ultimately I need to get the new focuser and FF.
This image is a compilation of 10 X 2minute each RGB and 6 X 2min Lum. The remainder of the Lum files were un usable.

Pretty happy with the result. Cropped to remove the twisted corners.

Nice one Doug - you'd have to be pretty happy to get that for a test shot!

Cheers -

For some reason I cant get the image from the website to come up.....using apple product so presume its flash based.
Pop up a1:1 crop for us in the 200kb IIS thumbnails.
Will come back for a look tonite.

Those stars look pretty tight. Nice one.

Thanks Mark, I hope to improve on this once I get the new focuser and FF for this scope. Now all I have to do is get flats and darks under control.

Thanks David, I hope so. I need the weather gods to come on side for a while so I can get everything working together.
