This image very nearly didn’t get taken at all due to a dew spot developing on the QHY8 nose piece and my scope very nearly running into the mount due to the fact I forgot I needed to do a meridian flip and fell asleep, luckily disaster was averted and the resulting image is below.
I’m still struggling with egg shaped stars with the MN 190 at exposures longer that 5 mins due to flex but DSS has made the best of what I got. The image is also cropped due to me framing the star in the centre of the FOV rather that the object!!!! DOH!!!!

Finally got round to processing some data I took at Kelling this year!!! Its been a busy 3 months with moving house and setting up my study but have finally managed to find some time to sit down and get some processing done.
As if capturing the data isn’t difficult enough, this processing stuff is sometimes beyond me but I’ve done my best although I’m sure the more proficient imagers out there could do a far better job with the data than I have but as they say “Rome wasnt built in a day”
Merry Christmas to you all.
