First Light images

[Astroscot2]

April was the last time I used my scope for imaging My new toys arrived this week and like magic it cleared beautifully on Saturday night. I only have a Ha filter so the NAN was the test subject . Took what seemed an age to get set up and guiding, had difficulty with loadstar but when I nailed the settings all went well. This is 90 mins Ha 9 x 10 min subs, dark frame subtracted which is a first for me. Looking forward to getting some colour filters and image those wide fields. Feel like im starting out from scratch again , lots to learn about calibration and a light box still to build. Roll on the clear nights
