Title: NGC281 Pacman/Cass
Post by: Fay on Oct 02, 2011, 16:59:05
300911 This was 17x600, QSI 583ws, 7nm ha, 0.85 fr, SW120. I was pleased to get this, as had a problem with elongated stars. Checked the pier & somehow, it had gone out of polar alignment. Was the nearest I have been to being a jam tart maker!!!!!

That's really excellent Fay.  I'm waiting to process some subs on this myself and I'd be really be happy if it came out like that.

Really pleased you like it. It was make or break, with this, if I went back to knitting or not!!!!!!

Had a lot of elongated stars problems which turned out to be the mount on the pier having moved from north. Perhaps my grip is not strong enough when tightening the bolt

Thanks

Thanks, John. I was pleased after all my focus/spacing  problems. I think it was a good seeing night for this one
