Handy M2

[markcol]

Hi folks (first image post)

I've just transferred my LX10 OTA onto my recently acquired EQ6 Pro so I was looking for a convenient test target, M2 was handy so here's the result:

12x1 min iso800 + 12x1 min 1600iso @6.3 with reducer on 8in SCT. Canon 20D dslr processed in DeepSkyStacker with darks and bias and PhotoshopCS with Noel's Actions.

Pleased with the new found rock-solid rigidty of this scope on the EQ6 and look forward to having a crack at Mars with the ToUcam later.

Cheers

Many thanks for the kind coments guys!

Surprising that since I hadn't used the SCT for a couple of months at least and after messing about with it during the transfer to rings and dovetail the collimation was still spot-on. Must be a good'un. (So I won't be able to justify that C9.25 after all ...)

cheers
