M33 two nights of data
Posted: Sat Sep 23, 2023 3:15 pm
Hi
This is my first attempt combining two session with APP so this is the 103 best 3 min frames from a total of 120 gathered over two nights then combined with separate darks flats bias etc in APP. Giving a total integration time of 5hrs 9min might add more at a later date.
It is also the first nights were I used the electronic stepper and ball screw conversion on the left right axis of the mount with polar align in sharpcap got it to 0 seconds(1 step moves the mount 0.0006mm on a 130mm radius whilst aligning
) just working on the one for the elevation next which means I can do everything from the computer.
Kit used
Imaging kit : APM-LZOS 130/780 + 1x MR flattener, ASI2600MC-Pro + Esatto 4" Focuser
Mount : M-UNO Synscan
Guide : Skywatcher ED72Pro+0.8x reducer Altair 290M guide camera
Software: SharpCap, GSS Mount control software, PHD2, Stellarium, AstroPixelProcessor, Affinity Photo 1.9
