Another go at M57 unguided

[jnc71106]

my second attempt at this one unguided

20x lights 120sec iso800

10x darks 120sec iso800

no flats as yet i have left everything as is so im going to take flats tomorrow. i think its ok to do that but not sure really

not sure if this is better or worse than the last attempt will let you guys be the judge of that

here is my first go at it from last week

Looks pretty good to me!

You can do the flats today if you've left the focus where it was. That should be fine.

The stars are getting a bit oval in the new one... I wonder whether a larger amount of shorter subs may suit a bright target like a planetary neb unguided? I don't know myself... Just a thought?

Nice pic though!

Yes i left the camera on the telescope in the same position

Don't think my drift alignment was spot on maybe that's why stars are a bit oval shaped.

Tried to get my finderguider setup working but I couldn't find any stars for phd to lock onto

flats applied not that it looks any different
