Hi Rob,
That looks pretty good, tracking seems OK.
There seems to be a bit of what I suppose is
"digital noise" - if that's the right term -
in the background. Just need a minus
10 degree refrigeration unit - just joking.
Well done.
Beware the lure of the Dark Side .....
Cheers, Paul.

A few days ago I setup my EQ5 mount to do some solar observing and was
surprise I got the alignment spot on, tracking the sun all day
without adjustment.
So that night I thought I might throw the camera on it and try a bit
of imagining.
But by evening it started raining so the mount got covered and sat
there for a
few days. Last night it amazingly cleared up beautifully but then the
dang
neighbour (not Vince) lit a fire to burn off some rubbish after dark
sending
smoke right across my yard Grrrrr!!!! which eventually died down later.
Anyways I managed my first ever DSO image, a series of 10 x 2 minute
exposures
of the Helix. Not the greatest but I was pretty happy how it turned
out. Took a
bunch of SMC but once I got them on the lappy the focus was out.
hope you all are keeping dry.
Cheers,CS
