It has been long since my last observation, since the sky won't get dark until after 23:00 at least. I am starting from 23:30 tonight.
I will confine myself to a single target namely M39, again with my S30.
Bad weather combined with late darkness as summer is coming, all these rendered no observation.
I have ordered a little cheese board to mount my camera lenses together with my little guidescope side-by-side.
It looks very elegant.
I will be selling my camera lens adapter for my ASI camera, it will be simpler to go for a guiding setup like this. This is more stable and cheaper to run. The only downside is no light pollution filter could be used, but I don't think it's needed for relatively short focal length.
Really trying out the Canon setup, unguided.
Markarian's Chain of galaxies M86, M87, M89, M90, M58, M60, M100 and many NGCs.
Could do no more than 30s at ISO 1600, the sky was not dark enough until 22:15.
Stacking of 30s exposures did not bring anything good enough.
S30 Pointing at M94, for around half an hour, this target was done before but the result was less than satisfactory.
ASIAir plus with Solarmax60.
Two frames mosaic sttitched.
Focus by JMI-CM modified with ZWO EAF Pro via ASIAIR Plus.
