Lagoon snap

had a good night last night and capped off the imaging with a couple from Lagoon Nebula - since there isn't really enough to stack propely, I'll just pop one sub in because I think it looks quite good for a single frame - ISO 800 133 seconds.
Managed to get a series from Eagle, Triffid and NGC4945

That's very good. Are you guiding?

Yes I've got my SSAG working now on my OAG
I'm tuning as I go - getting better each night
Had to strip down myscope to get it to work ! the tensioner on the Dec gear was sticking- loctite from the original build found in the moving parts

The field is extremely good at that FL. You're going to get some unreal shots when you collect more data. Looking forward to more.

thanks - I'm happy with my learning curve - need todo a lot more at this level before I start leaping into more technical stuff

Looks good for a single sub. Take many more and stack as you have pointed out and don't forget the dark frames.

It's good to see round stars isn't it?

Good luck!
