V.useful Robin many thanks. Received my Aply600 a couple of weeks ago and I’m familiarising myself with it – and with ISIS.
(Although at the moment I’m having more success with BASS).
I’ve ditched my QHY5 guider in favour of a Lodestar which seems up to the job. Its now a case of optimising the platform. C925 With 0.63fr and Atik460. Lots of success with brighter objects.
I can identify (and track) targets to the mags you outline but the biggest challenge is just finding the slit to put those faint objects in! Frustrating when you take a long exposure for a faint star only to find it’s not quite “in the grove”.
I’ll start posting ‘first efforts’ asap.
See you at the workshop later this month?
Regards
Tony
