NGC2070

I've done very little imaging since acquiring the new CCD camera and RC8. Have been very busy doing up my backyard, it's no longer a weed infested, dusty sandpit. At least, I now feel more comfortable taking my imaging gear out onto the limestone pavement instead of the sand.

I've put all the gear back together with some new additions like the shiny new moonlite focuser!! and as usual it took me few weeks to re-climb the learning curve of astrophotography.

The NGC2070 is about 3 hours worth of Hydrogen Alpha in 20 minute subs. Most subs thrown out due to guiding and focus issues. I still need few more nights under the stars to sort things out.
