M81, the Blue Snowball and the Saturn Nebula...

[legion48]

...all firsts for me. None of them are anything write home about as I couldn't track for more than 12 seconds again tonight. Not sure what the problem is. :?

However, the goto was the best it's ever been tonight. The Blue Snowball was bang in the middle of the 10mm eyepiece. When I finished imaging it I left the Toucam in and did a goto on the Saturn Nebula and there it was, middle of the lappy screen. Same with M82. If only my laptop battery had a bit more life, who knows how many more firsts I might have gotten.

M82 - 53 x 12 seconds:

Blue Snowball - 16 x 12 seconds:

Saturn Nebula - 24 x 9 seconds:

Nice ones L48 - the Blue Snowball certainly is blue :shock: I haven't seen either that or the Saturn nebula .

I was using the 150 newt. I was surprise how bright these things were last night. I Blue snowball looked pretty good at only 3 second subs while I was getting focus!
