HI Folks,
Last night the conditions were not perfect but I just had to get out and try to make the best of a somewhat clear sky.
I imaged this galaxy last year with the first Meade DSI Pro series camera under good conditions, This time I used my newer DSI Pro II with my Celestron C6RGT Refractor and a focal reducer but with a slight change of order to my image train. I moved the CA filter ahead of the 0.5 focal reducer.
The shot is composed of a total of 40- 42.2 seond subs, Unguided, on the CG5 ASGT Mount under street lights and porch lights from my driveway in Raymond NH at 10 PM EST.
