Clear nights are few and far between at present. Got out for an hour tonight . A few captures with the 290 on the Rasa M65 10s x 18. Thought I saved a 10s x 6 which didnt have the cigar stars but lost it ngc 2070 5s x 12 m104 10s x 6 ngc 5128 10s x 6
I dont seem to get any image improvement by stacking for longer than a minute with this combination of scope and camera. Suits me fine. cheers Paul

I’m crazy over monochrome nebula shots. The Tarantula shot is amazing. Galaxies look great also but if I had a whole season to spend looking at the Taratula and Eta Carina, I’d be happy.

Yes Ken,pretty happy with the Rasa. I think at one stage I may have won a prize for the world's worst videoastronomer. So it is good to get a couple of decent shots. When I do 3 minute or more total exposures ,I am finding I am getting cigar stars . The mount is the EQ6-R and I do a pretty accurate 2 star alignment . Whenever,I do a polar align with sharpcap ,that seems good as well. Goto is accurate and the image on screen doesnt appear to move so I dont know what the problem is.
Anyway ,with the Rasa ,I am finding a minute total exposure is usually enough. cheers Paul

Maybe just periodic error in the mount. It can be removed in the mounts settings. Periodic Error is quite common.

Great shots Paul,, I'm the same when it comes to stacking,, I only image the moon and I find my unstacked frames are better than stacked,,
