Is it Fixed Yet.

I just seem to be spending all my time outdoors fixing niggling little problems with the rig. Tonight is no exception and it looks like the fight with the mount is fixed but I'm now waiting for the dew to start for round two to begin

Does this look ok or are the top left stars eggy?

Shot under tonights moon and over one of those orange street lights they put at bus terminals

9x15minute Ha subs @ 1x1. Sbig ST-8300 Tak FS-102 @ F8 on an EQ6, Baader filter.

Fantastic image Robin.
As for top left corner, hell if they are it must only be minute. I dont think i'd be to worried about it.
Bloody fantastic

Cheers,
Duncan

Cheers guys, but it looks like the camera is sagging. Top left and right have eggy stars when you zoom in, bottom looks ok so far. Looks like I'll need another custom adapter and ditch the 2" thumb screw stuff

[Edit]
Adding M8 from the other side of meridian. It looks the same to me. More niggilly little problems to iron out

Only 4 x 15minute subs here.

two excellent images Robin...

I'd agree, that looks like camera sag to me... Been there, done that...

To be honest, I used the CAA to rotate the camera 90 degrees between those 2 shots yet the errors are in the same place. I need to sleep on it

which is as you would expect it to be if the camera was not seated correctly in the focuser. if the camera was on a slight angle when its inserted, no matter where you rotate the entire setup to, the lean will be in the same spot, at the same angle in images..
