Various DSOs from the last week

[jonathancd]

Hello,

we had one of the best clear runs of weather in ages last week which made for good imaging. Was able to chalk up a few new objects including a first go at Andromeda (very tricky to process and shamed by Olly's amazing recent effort)) and the Dumbell and NGC7789 (Rose Cluster) plus a new go at the double cluster which is much better than my attempts from the spring. They were all shot unguided with an equinox 80 and modded 300d on a vixen sphinx. 30 -40 one minute subs for everything except Andromeda which was about 40 2 minute subs. Some of the stars are a bit egg shape as I am relying on the polarscope. Thinking about guiding as I cant get my head round drift aligning.

These show to me what a modded camera and CLS clip filter can do in East London. Grateful for view advice or reprocessing.

thanks for looking

Jonathan
