Heart Nebula - Canon 600D

[smashing]

So I thought I would get back out again last night to try and get some more data on the Heart Nebular (see previous post here)

 

Many things went wrong, the mount wasn't correctly seated (caught that before the whole thing went down) and in the dark I managed to not connect the dew heaters up correctly so the guide scope was fine but the imaging scope was well dewed over so had to throw away quite a few poor subs (lots of cloud didn't help).

Hey ho never mind as I learned a TON of things and it's just constant practice getting the kit out, set-up and going! 

Anyway this is data over two nights (Never done that before) with a modified Canon 600D, SW Equinox 80 on a HEQ5 mount. 4 hours of data with a mixture of 4 and 5 minute subs, flats and bias frames...I haven't done darks in a while as the dithering seems to be doing a good job and I have had issues with them previously.

Enjoy!
