Hi nytecam,

What a coincidence, I was using the twin quasar as a test of my guiding last night. Here is 5 x 5min subs stacked and processed in Nebulosity.

The Twin quasar is an amazing object. I just love the fact that the gravity lens shows you two images of the same object and that the light from A gets here 417 days before the light from B.

Cheers John
