My first Horsey in Ha

So after arriving home about 11 last night, went out for a very quick session. Really only trying to sort out a couple of annoying bugs in my system.
In the end only managed 2 x 5mins on the Horsehead in Ha before packing it in at 2am.

Details are:
Scope Stellarvue SVR102T-IS with 0.8 flattener/reducer giving fl of 571mm
Mount Orion Atlas AZ/EQ G
Camera Atik One 6.0
Filter Astronomik Ha 12nm
Guiding Atik OAG and Atik GP with PHD
Aquisition with SGP
Stacked the entire set of 2 (yep count 'em TWO!) frames in DSS then whacked a few stretches with levels and curves in PS CC2015

Will try for more stuff soon.

Thanks guys. Quite pleased with the result considering the gear issues I had. Think it shows the value of the low noise sensor in this camera.
