Hi guys

Better late than never, been busy at work...

An image taken about 20:38 UT from Oxford.  Seeing was fair.  ASI174MM camera, C14.

Nice, how are you finding the 174 ? what sort of frame rates do you manage?

Thanks for commenting chaps!

Nice, how are you finding the 174 ? what sort of frame rates do you manage?

To get a reasonable image scale and decent histogram about 120 fps with the C14 and about 80 fps with the C9.25.  The camera will easily do 300+fps at prime focus at 640x480 on my rubbishy laptop, but in the end you are limited by available light...

Fast frame rates there Nick must help beat the seeing. Good detail this late in the day.
