A very rare beautiful clear Moonless night last night so I put the 2 x Canon 200mm lenses on a favourite star region of mine – Kemble’s Cascade in Camelopardalis. Managed 2-hours worth of 10-minute subs with the array and … Continue reading
Managed to get 8 x 30-minute subs last night with the 2 x 200mm Canons and the M26Cs, and I added this to earlier 19 x 15-minute data from the same rig using Registar. This is the result. I think … Continue reading

Here is a CCDInspector result from one of the 200mm lenses with an M26C Trius OSC CCD from last night:
