M13 - first attempt at LRGB

Hi all,

Here is my first attempt to do LRGB with my new ST10 camera. I have a ways to go I know, but we all gotta start somewhere. The most frustrating thing about the image is the tracking which I haven't been able to narrow down yet.

Suggestions are welcomed.

Hi Paul,

Looks great to me. Out of curiosity (and as a novice at all this) what prompted you to buy the ST10? What model did you buy? Did you get the remote guide head? Did you sell the ST-2000XMC?

Paul,
Nice image. I notice the stars are a tad streaked. Are you guiding separately or are you guiding through the ST10?

Excellent FIRST attempt Paul! 8)
Indeed, you seem to have little issues with your mount tracking, but I'm sure you'll narrow it down and will have some amazing shots soon! wink


Clear skies to you!
