My 1st M51 with Atik 16iC

[robindurant]

Finally got my new Atik back from the makers after them finding a faulty seal, Finally got a clear spell to try it. Not a good shot but under the circumstances - Full Moonlit night, high whispery clouds and only 12 subs, I am happy with it as I know I can get better.

Glad you got the camera sorted Rob, what scope and mount did you use.

Full Moon, thin cloud, and limited exposure, that's got to be a very respectable result Robin. Nice work indeed!!

Thanks Guys

Trev - I used my new Equatorial, not too well set up on NCP and my cheap SW 80 mm Achromatic Refractor.

Excellent, Robin and what an improvement over your original shots with the faulty camera! Really pleased that you are 'back on the road' again.

Lovely image Robin! The thin cloud with the moon must have made that quite tricky to capture so well done!
