After the last session I've changed the focuser as I've found the previous focuser could not handle the weight of the DSLR. I've changed it for a Moonlite CR2 manual focuser.

I've alsoo changed from the DSLR to my ASI533MC Pro (used without cooling).

I used a green laser to align the EQ platform with the NCP and a two-way spirit level fixed to the baseboard.

The M45 (Alcyone/Merope area) was shot as a white light test with the 533, The Crab (M1) was shot twice. Initially as a white light tyarget then with an IDAS NBZ NB filter. These were combined in PS after being stacked and processed in PI.
