Got my mount back yesterday....pretty happy with it...have to do another drift align but that can wait.....was a bit impatient...lol

Unguided 5 x 45 second exposures 800 ISO at Primes SCT focus on my C11 at 1900mm FL F6.3.

Virtualy NO processing at all...just stacked and cropped.

Wow, that's stunning for no processing.

Nice job Tony.

Nah my very first shot was Omega NGC 5139..I did that at F10...a bit close for such a large Glob...I prefer F6.3 for the larger globs as above.

Houghy..I got Star optics on the gold coast to have a look at it as I bought my Skyscan off them.....they found a worn washer that was just ground out by all the grease...they also adjusted everything for me and put some high quality grease back in...it's given it about 30% less friction....still a small amount of backlash but very minor..have no slop either which is great....might train the drives and do a drift align tonight...or I might just do some more imaging instead...lol

Nice image Tony, can you crop a bit and give us a better view of the glob centre...

Great shot Tony. Looks like that camera is really going to take you places
