well, it was last night.
Managed to bag a few deepsky objects using my Takahashi. Here is the first M45; 51Min worth of 30sec subs, darks,flats & bias applied. Processed in DSS and CS5:-
And here is the Perseus double open cluster NGC 884 & NGC 869.
Also NGC752, to the right are a high number of galaxies, but they wouldn't be seen in this almost test frame of only 17 x 30sec frames. Bah!
