Becasue of my limited sky view from my OBS I was limted to imaging yet another test run last night.
LRGB 40:30:30:30 10 min ea
ED80 EQ6

Tried another set of flats at differnt exposures to try and get it as flat as possible. Trial and error I am afraid!

Still, the guiding is great with the light ED80 and super wide field orion guide scope.

Faint Galaxy and not the biggest either,but at least I could track it for 2 hours.Looking forward to M42 actually coming into range next month!

Paul, that's a really nice result using a small scope as it really shows the loneliness of some of these galaxies in the void.

Thanks Darrin - The benfit of this size chip over my last chip is the ability to centre an object and still have planty of real estate around it!

Thanks Paul. It shows up as a spiral.

Thanks Glen! I love the ED80 because its easier to handle for the mount and doesnt need collimation - but imagine what a 10inch would do for this object! I was happy to get a spiral happening anyway!
