Hi Again !

This is my second attempt at a CCD image and this time I went for the Pac Man in Ha. I was suprised at the amount of signal present considering the near full moon right on top of it !!!

Image Specs:

SX-MX716 + Schuler-AstroDon 9nm Ha
Borg 76ED, no correction
Atlas EQ-G with EQMOD
Guided with a FS-60C + DSI Pro
24*360 Ha 1X1
Maxim DL for everything!!!

IMAGE HERE

Thanks for looking

Yup, it looks good!

I still haven't got the narrowband bug (only done it once for my Orion shot) but I love to see what others do.
