Horsehead Nebula.

Hi,

I have a new mount AP 1100 gto with borrowed saddle plate (thanks Matt) and clear skies. It is my first post in ages but great fun watching this beautiful mount work. Taken with W/O Flt110 10 minute subs Canon 60Da for a total of 2 hours 40 minutes. Darks and flats applied. Feedback welcome.

Nice Mark!

I was imaging the 2 nights ago. Looked good, but seeing was NOT so great. Even with spot on focus, the FWHM was less than impressive (lowest I had was 3.7 or some such). LOTS of star bloat that night.

and what a beautiful mount it is Mark, I think one will find its way into my possession one day. Such a nicely designed and built mount.

Great to see the fruits of your labours.
