Cleaned the C-14's corrector plate and spent a couple of hours on collimation and thought I'd try a couple of pictures. Both of the following are made from stacking 30 two minute exposures, each which was first dark subtracted and flat fielded. Scope was working at its native f/11 (3,910 mm). Camera was binned 2x2 resulting in a scale of 0.733"/pixel. Maybe next time I'll try 1x1 (0.366"/pixel). Cocoon Nebula, IC 5146: http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/10OCT2007.IC5146.60.jpg Deer Lick Group of galaxies in Pegasus: http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/09oct2007.NGC7331.60.jpg I'm happy with the collimation and guiding but I just can't get the tiny pinpoint stars I see in so many others' pictures. Grumble... When I try this again I think I may refocus after every 5 or so images as the focus did change slightly during the time it took to shoot all 30 pictures. BTW, if anyone is interested I kept all of the original data which I'd be happy to email out in case someone else can do their magic (Photoshop) to make the stars smaller. Carpe Noctem! patrick
