Hi,

10" newtonian at f3.6, unfortunately part of the frames with a lot of dust and small clouds
L 18 x 300s, 25 x 600s
R 18 x 300s
G 18 x 300s
B 24 x 300s

L with 1 x binning, RGB with 2 x binning (StarAlignment with Auto interpolation settings gives ringing artefacts for 2 x binning, so I switched bach to bicubic spline with 0.1 clamping -  I try to add this to the CalibrateAlign script)



Best

Nice!

Really nice! Congrats, well done!
What about the other equipment used?

[kwiechen]

Hi Sander, Lex,

thank you very much!

@Lex: equipment was an ASA 10N f3.6, QSI583ws with Astronomik LRGB filter set. Data aquisition was done with MaximDL, processing with PI.

Ahh,

I better understand now, ASA is the magical word! 
I do also use a 10" Newt at f5 but my image quality never reached yours 
What about the mount?

Thanks

Hi,

the mount is a DDM60pro.

Best,

The puzzle of perfection; my dream 
How long do one wait after order for this kind of equipment?
