Last night's haul - May 16

[nytecam]

After last week's cloud - this week 4 nights clear in a row and progressively improving with later rising full then gibbous moon.  Got some catching up to do but here's my haul from last night including old favourites and some new to-me galaxies plus Comet Panstarrs K1 [still bright!]around the zenith for clarity through the London atmosphere. 

Used 30cm SCT @ f/3.4 + new Lodestar-Mx2 mono cam + LodestarLive in 30s exp throughout - full data on images. Enjoy

Good haul- managed to bag a few new (to me) Messiers last night- plus a few old favourites.

Running the 10" scope at F2.9 so 2x2 binned mode almost useless- burning out the cores of galaxies in anything longer than 5 seconds!

M81 in 4 seconds Lodestar x2 10" F2.9 2x2 binned mode

300 seconds in high res mode (more hot pixels- but also more dynamic range)
