Hi all, I have not posted for some time now. I'm just getting started with a new camera I picked up over the winter. Please al comments are welcome.

OK here is one 5min image of m51 from tonight, Lum only with auto dark, Temp -30c @ 67% guiding with PHD focus by eye next I'll try focus Max, R200, Paracorr, ST-10ME on a G11

Bob

PS: this image is right out of the camera

Weather has not been great here in NY. But I have been able to get an hour or two each night over the past week so here is my rainy weather 6.8 hr NGC 6888. Subs were 8min x 51 Ha G11, ST-10ME guided with PHD

Bob

Well I added more time last night 6 30min sub's to the 6.8 hr's already shot, Let me know what you all think.

Bob

Hi Tony, the image looks very nice! .... But the artificial star spikes got to go, one or two on the brightest stars but not the 20 you have.

Sorry to be so hard
