M27 - Started off as a test

[Rich N]

Finaly had a chance to get the imaging rig out last night. I was up early in the morning, so didnt have much time. My aim was to test the guiding and remote control. Both worked realy well, but the dew was a nightmare. I was in and out of the house with a hairdryer! Focusing was proving difficult, took me a while. I blame lack of practice . Ended up with 6 decent subs by the end of the night. had to crop out the coma, but my new corrector which arrived today should fix that for next time (Thanks FLO).

2x 400 secs 4x 500 secs @ ISO 800. Only had time for 3 darks. DSS and CS4

Thanks anitmorris for the tutorials. I process on a laptop, so unsure how it looks. Any pointers greatly appreciated.
