Ngc3324

Here's last night's effort - 1.8 hrs on NGC3324 using the Meade ED80 with the new Orion flattener. Had a few issues with the camera dewing up so had to increase the TEC to 0 degC.

Comments welcome.

Nice, mate. Bit hard to tell at that scale, but stars look pretty good in corners. The field is so much wider than my ED80.

Nice one Peter, but a bit lacking of blues (i.e. too yellowish) IMHO. I would rise a bit this channel to have it a bit more balanced..

A great capture Peter and the new flattener is working well. I admire your perseverence but its paid dividends.

Cheers Troy. The corners seem to be working out ok.

I agree. I'm a bit out of touch with processing as it's been a long time between images.
