trunk with the .85x ff/fr

[tony]

i was hoping to capture this on saturday, clear sky forecast, but had a couple of issues with focusing after rotating the camera 90'. 

it took a while to get it framed aswell and once i'd done that it had gone over the meridian so i needed to flip then recalibrate phd again as it doesnt like the flip, by the time it was ready it had clouded over  so that was that, night over.

last night i was able to get an hour in before the cloud arrived, the first 2 subs were rubbish so only 40 mins total, so this will be a w.i.p, lots more needed and i want to get oiii and sii eventually, so it might take a while, but happy with what i've got for 40mins with whats my first attempt at this with the ff/fr.

4 x 600 secs ha

gear as sig

Excellent start I'd say.

A little noisy at the moment, but nothing that more data won't sort - A good start Tony. I look forward to many hours on this!!!

Looks about right for the amount of data. Good focus and round stars.

You could have gone past the meridian a good deal longer than you think. With the NEQ6, it will guide at least 60min past the meridian - but you have to pop out every now and then to make sure a mount collision doesnt happen.
