6188 plus

[RobinW]

Here's a narrowband 6188 + 6164.

First real image off the eq8 but as always, needs more data

12" GSO newt, atik 11002, qhy5LII + oag.

Robin that is awesome, nothing less.

[Gina]

WOW! That's brilliant Don't know those but you've ceratinly done them justice - and some

[mareprah]

Tell us more how the night with the EQ8 went!!!

[Gina]

That's beautiful

[Mr Bergman]

I agree, beautiful!

[RobinW]

Cheers all. It's a great bit of sky.

Sorry for the slow response I've been away.

I doubt you northerners can see this one, it rotates about 30 degrees off the southern pole.

The eq8 slotted straight in where the eq6 was. Software wise, I had to turn down guiding aggression a lot and dropped exposures from 3 to 2 seconds. Other than that, it's a mount

There is the full sized version. I've been told it looks best reduced by 50% by browser software.

Very Beautiful.

Superb. Nice to see the new mount performing so well.

[Twisted Lip]

Stunning!

[Kieran Rooney]

How much is a ticket to Australia? Stunning,

[RobinW]

Thanks for the accolades, but I just snapped it and stuck it together into an image.

The real hero is the sky.

[Gina]

I think there was a bit more to it than that!

[SnakeyJ]

That's one stunning bit of sky and nice to here that the EQ8 is performing. The 1102 certainly delivers acres of wide-field and with views like that you'll have us all emigrating to Oz!

Would be great to see some of the guiding curves and here some more about how you're getting along with the new mount - there's certainly a few in here itching to find out how it measures up and with the 12" newt you'll be giving it a reasonable load.

[prokyon]

Wow, great result! EQ8 could become a bestseller. More data would make the image stunning.

[FranckiM06]

Wow, it is really splendid image. So much details every where.

[Shibby]

Gorgeous! What a fascinating region. I'm sure all us Northerners are jealous of it

[Welrod50]

What a brilliant image and one I've not seen before. Thanks for sharing this

[Dan85]

Brilliant image

[steveyzh]

Well done! It was a nice target.

How long did you set for the Q5LII OAG calibration time ? It seemed that longer calibration time would making the guiding star drifting out of the FOV...

[RobinW]

Calibration time? From the eq6 i turned down exposure time from 3 to 2 seconds and reduced aggression in both maxim and eqmod. It seems it just needs a gentle knudge,

Someone else asked about guiding ... here's a maxim screen print which looks like it's from this image.
