Narrowband

M31, 6 minutes, Hyperstar

Yup, that's all I got last night after having removed the Ultrastar and attached the QHY8L to the Hyperstar.  Setup and then the clouds rolled in at about 20:20

The larger FOV (about 2.5 degrees) really shows how much the collimation needs adjusting, and this camera does push the limits of the imaging circle anyway.  Lots of hot pixels here too, since I only got 3 x 2 minutes worth...

A single undebayered 2-minute sub shows the extent of the vignetting, so the processed stack includes flats taken with a light panel.  Colour is not great with this limited set of data either, but I did want something to show for the evening's efforts. 

Single sub:
