Night of Firsts

[nigelg]

Last night was one of my best nights this year. The first time I have had dew heaters, normally my scopes are dew up by the time I done my alignment. This was my first Bubble, and first 600 sec exposure. This is a single 600 sec HA exposure, taken with my Atik 314L+ through the Altair Astro 102. Just stretched and a little Gamma in Registax5.

Some of the stars are slightly elongated so I will have to give Drift Aligning another go.

Very good for a single shot I'm hoping to pick up an Atik 314L+ tomorrow

I think you will be pleased with the 314L+. My image was without Darks, Flats or cropping.

Thanks Nigel I'm looking forward to it But maybe not as much as to some clear nights! I keep spending money in the never ending hope of actually being able to use what I buy
