Breaking in ASIAIR Plus on the Seven Sisters

[OK Apricot]

A decent few hours last night, albeit windy. The mount seemed to handle it no problem though with the air guiding it at 0.4-0.5".

First session of many to come on this target and the first time I've taken and used flats and dark flats. Why didn't I do these earlier? It's a huge improvement on the quality of the image. Still learning how to get the best out of StarXTerminator, but otherwise I like to think my processing skills are settling in? 

40x180s with the Skywatcher 80ED with 0.85x FF/FRand ASI533MC-Pro, UV/IR filter, EQ6-R Pro mounted, guided by Evoguide 50ED and ASI120MM-Mini from my Bortle 5 garden.

Great shot. And this is without a flatner?

Ah, I guess I should have mentioned that. It was indeed with the 0.85x FF/FR for the 80ED.
