Last Nights Portable Setup Image of M33

[ngc2403]

Last night i took the setup of the 5'' achro 80mm ST guide scope and HEQ5 to a dark sky site south of Livingstone with the CSOG. Once there i setup the gear and got the guided going. with the Laptop battery only lasting an hour i needed to be swift with the focusing etc..

the seeing was poor and there was a light mist in the air which made the telescopes dew up quite bad. it must of been about -4 ish and there was a light breeze too.

once focussed i did 5x5mins on M33 @ ISO 800 with my 350D powered by Tom from Glasgows Astro Society.

i did a quick process and here is the result

i would like some comments or suggestions for improving it please

Very Nice Ally ....

I find it difficult to give up the convenience of the FIxed Pier and wedge in the obs... but sacrifice dark skies as a result

I would say the only thing you need is more subs....
