NGC 281 Pacman Nebula
Canon EOS 2000D
40 x 300s ISO 1600 L-eNhance
Hi guys, first time posting but I've been lurking this thread for months trying to scrape as much information as I can and piece everything together. I love the dedicated following this scope has.
It was only over the holiday period I got to use the scope in anger. Prior to that I've been using a lighter redcat/Star adventurer setup rather than battle taking the eq6r/130pds up and down a long flight of stairs with work the next morning. I'll work out something more permanent outdoors in the better weather.
Anyhow so far I have a baader CC and taking on board the wealth of information regarding sagging with the standard configuration I have bought both the recommended compression ring as well as the lacerta thread adapter. I make use of a modified canon 2000d for imaging and use a zwo eaf for focus all controlled with a newly purchased asiair plus.
I also 3d printed a ring to hide the mirror clips as well as a cover plate for the scope base to prevent light seepage.
Is there any other improvements I have missed?
I see I still have some egg shape stars largely to the lower left corner.
Also please give me any and all feedback on my image both in imaging and post processing, I'm here to improve after all.
