M78 from 10 chain hill

[Tandum (Robin)]

This one is from 10 chain hill last week-end. Unfortunately I had some crud on the QHY8's optic window and the stars ended up with little strokes through them on all images ... bugger ....

Also in the middle of this sequence, I plugged in peters camera to test it and then resumed with mine. The offset between the image groups left a line across the final image from the overscan portion of the qhy8 images. I cropped it out here but how would one overcome that?

Takahashi FS-102 @ F6 QHY8. 6 x 600sec and 4 x 900sec.

No bad Robin considering

There's a lot more of it Trevor, would be a good spot to practice mosaics. Make sure the filter is clean first

Thanks for showing this one Robin. I only got around to trying M78 very late before sun-up, and wasn't really sure what I could expect to see. You've captured some great detail in there, albeit with the slight defects you described.

Again,you've done well Robin. Nice.
