M31 unguided

[Trevor N]

Not used the PEC facility yet on the HEQ5 but tried this with unguided two minute subs. Scope was an ed80 and the camera was a canon 1000D with f6.3 reducer. Has anyone used the PEC to guide ? 17 subs in all so 34 mins. Camera is not modded.

Very nice image Trevor, nice tight stars for an unguided image and the shorter subs have kept the core under control..

Amazing results Trevor - you really would not be able to tell this was unguided.

You've gone deep with that Trevor, who needs guiding!

Thanks for the comments. I will try the same using PEC and see if it improves. Seems to be a good way forward for short focal length shots, Trevor
