Using the dual rig of the Tak FS102 and the QSI doing LRGB and the WO132 and the SX694 doing L.

A series of 300sec subs over 3 nights(well 5 actually but 2 nights data was dumped)

Total

Tak & QSI

5700secs L (19 subs)

8100secs Red (27 subs)

7800secs Green (26 subs)

7500secs Blue (25 subs)

 

WO132 & SX694

23700secs L (79 subs)

 

 

Do the clicky thing for full res.

Spot on, really crisp detail, Bravo for being able to reject two nights of data, but clearly the right way to go.

Thanks for your comments.

I have not tried this setup before and it was a test of concept to start with and seeing as the data looked promising & the weather was co-operating  even with the issues so I decided to carry on.

The 2 nights were dumped as one night one of the ccd's was slightly loose in the focuser and rotated the second lot the focus was not quite right.

Maybe Icould have rescued some data from the other cam but it was easier just to not include it.
