|
| Date : | 2020-01-05 |
| Time (UT) : | 02:07 to 04:35 |
| Mount : | SkyWatcher EQ6 Pro, beltdrive modified (DIY 2019) |
| Guide : | QHY5 camera with 400 mm f/6.3 lens |
| Lens/telescope : | TS130 APO f/7 910mm, 3" focuser |
| Corrector/Barlow : | 3" field flatter, x1. T48 connector to camera |
| Field (FOV) : | 2.25 x 1.5o (full frame) before crop |
| camera : | Canon 6D, QE=0.5, full frame, 20 Mpixel, 14 bit |
| camera temperature: | About 6o C above surrounding temperature |
| Film/CCD : | Raw, Cr2 |
| Filter : | none |
| Control system : | Mount by EQMOD, camera by APT, guide by PHD2, focuser by USB-focus, ASCOM Windows PC |
| Exp. time : | 90 used of 120x60 seconds, iso1600, dithering mode |
| Image process tool : | AstroImageJ, Fitswork, Irfanview |
| Processing : | level, cal flat, dithering no bias dark noise filter |
| Weather : | clear with some clouds drifting by |
| Comment : | After 3 months of hopeless cloudy sky I got the opportunity to setup my telescope. The rebuild of the mount is not fully tested yet and a lot of tweaking has to be done. When auto guiding I now have a total rms error in the range 0.6" to 0.9". |

| Processing : | level, cal flat, dithering no bias dark, crop 1:1 |
| Weather : | clear |
| Comment : | This was long time ago I tried to take a photo of. Increased focal length give some more detail. Look closely and you can see the dark band that divide the galaxy in two halves. |
