After originally deciding not to go out, I was presented with a clear sky at 1am and decided to go out.
I set up the H9 with my 300mm but after working out that there was no way to get focus with the filter wheel,
I reverted back to the Willliams,
M38
Williams optics
Light pol filter
Darks & bias
10 & 300s
Guided with the LX200.

That's looking good.
I don't remember M38 being done before, wouldn't have thought you'd need LP filter from down there though.
I thought that, but after using the D3 the other night, I still get LP.
Although its probably from Haslemere, its not much, but its still there.
and on a 5 min exposure, it will probably add up.

M38 - an unusual choice! Also very low in the sky!
A great looking cluster though and your image has come out well. Great to see you getting a chance at imaging again.

Looking good Mac - Looks like all the kit & guiding is working...Well done - John
Yup,
This week it worked, last week it didn't,
nothing was different, all the cameras, ect in the same ports, same software,
Just a different day.
The joys eh.
