76 x 15-minute subs on IC410/405 region
Last night only got 16 x 15-minute subs due to a massive Iridium flare, something that was as bright as the ISS, and Auriga dipping below the roof at the end of the session. So as this one has used … Continue reading
60 x 15-minute subs on the IC405/410 region in Auriga
I got another 20 subs at 15-minutes per sub on the IC405/410 region last night using the 200mm lenses and ASI 2600MC-Pro cameras. The bad news is, the image just keeps on improving. So where do I stop? 80 subs? … Continue reading

Second Light for the Canon 200mm lenses and ASI 2600MC-Pro CMOS cameras.
This is a very quick (and dirty) process of last night’s Gamma Cassiopeia data taken on the 200mm lens rig. It was final setting up time so I managed to get both cameras in portrait mode, aligned both cameras very … Continue reading
First light for the ASI 2600MC-Pro cameras on the Canon 200mm lenses.
Last night was First Light for the new 200mm lens rig. I chose the Gamma Cass region as there’s plenty going on there. Two changes to make, need to rotate the cameras 90 degrees anticlockwise to get them in portrait … Continue reading
