    Certainly, the lum was three hours worth on the 130pds (18x600 1x1 bin). The colour was taken from last years version with the 80ED, registar did the job of registering the two images. There will be more added, probably some extra Ha too. Ive no problem with re-cycling data shot in previous sessions, if its good data and its all yours, then why reshoot? lol... cant anyway because I sold my RGB filters to fund the move to 2". Maybe for xmas I will ask for Red and Blue 2" filters (green can wait!). How are you getting on with the TS F4, have you managed to get a flat field (to the corners) out of it yet?

      Fire is usually a bad sign with electrical devices.

      But I didnt say that I knew what im doing! First time for a comet so I could fluff it up.

  16. Uranium235

    Stellarium 13.0 - not worth downloading, quite slow (and thats on a gaming laptop). Gone back to 12.2 and all is fine.

      Not using CDC Rob, it took me a few sessions to get used to it, mainly navigating with the mouse. Click and drag, really missed that.

    2. Uranium235

      Uranium235

      Tried CDC, but couldnt get on with the navigation, felt a bit clunky. Stellarium is fine now I have updated the comet list (having a go at c/2014 e2 next week).

      13 refused to run on mine, said a missing file so had to revert to 12. Will live with the older one, but finding I do not use it much.

      I used Al's collimation aid, and overlayed that from the preview screen in NeroVision. Turns out my secondary was too far up the tube.

    3. Uranium235

      Uranium235

      Despite collimation, there was some minor focuser tilt (probably from the weight of the camera), but Ive adjusted that out and the corners seem ok now - just rolling off some test subs on the Veil.
