First Light with new Cam and Mount -- M42

[davy999]

Set up new NEQ6 Pro with no polar alignment, just placed it roughly and 2 star align, did not expect much.

Used Atik 314L for first proper attempt on this setup, obviously due to no alignment subs would be short but I think for first light with this new kit its come out rather well.

Info of image

Celestron C9.25 on NEQ6 Pro

Atik 314L with 0.6 Focal Reducer

109 images, average exposure 2.17 seconds

Comments good or bad always welcome.

That shot is a tribute to your Atik camera and it's low read noise. Once you have the set up sorted you should get some superb results
