NGC7000 lower region and NGC 7380 after tweaks

[Michael1971]

I have been busy trying to eliminate my elongated stars and coma problem.

It seems its a bit better now.

What I did now:

Bought:

M48 Bayonet for my 1100D (more aperature)

15mm extension tube (48mm male/female) for correct distance coma corrector

Compression ring adapter for focuser, puts the coma corrector more in the middle of the focuser

Re did my colimation with moonshane's tactic.. paid no attention to the mirror clips this time..

Stars are still not perfectly round but there is progress at last..

NGC7000: 10x480 sec neodymium filter ISO 800

NGC7380: 14x420 sec neodymium filter ISO 800

Thanks Bryan!

ngc7000 looks ok ngc7380 could use a lot more data..was more as a test..

I was more happy with these images cause of the lack of coma compared to my other ones..still work in progress though..
