After a failed attempt at a three-hour exposure on film last night due to camera batteries running out mid-exposure, I decided to once again image with my guide camera for a while before dawn. The tracking was not great since I forgot to adjust the declination balance after removing the SLR and some other equipment. Despite that it still turned out fine for only 34 minutes of integration time.

68 x 30s, gain 300
Equipment:
Sky-Watcher 200p
EQ6 Pro
Touptek GPM462M

Stacked in Siril, processed in Siril and GIMP.

Love it ! You resolved the shape amazingly for such a short integration time. I’m imaging this target myself, lovely to see another image here PepeHype

If the 200p is your guide what the hell is your main scope?

I do not think I ever said I was using a guide scope though.

#

Although technically the 200p is also my guide scope as well.
