Dumbbell

[IvanT]

My first attempt at the Dumbbell

14x180 sec subs, 20 dark, 20 flat, 20 bias all at ISO 1600

Had to dump about half my subs unfortunately, been having some trouble recently with PHD guiding in DEC so have been guiding in RA only. Before starting this run, I thought I'd try and fine tune the PA with EQAlign but I seem to have made it worse. Something to work on next time.

Still, quite happy with what 42 mins worth produced.

As always, comments welcome.

Thanks folks, first time I've tried using a test image to create a custom White balance. I was expecting ISO1600 to have a lot more noise so I made sure I had at least 1-1 on darks and flats.
