    Eagle Nebula taken with an STC-7 via a TMB 152 triplet.

    A newly acquired Star Chaser SC-2 performed autoguiding duties. This worked out well as star quality wrt roundness (0.10) passed 100%. Previously, an off axis guider with 250mm scope was hit or miss with many images failing the roundness test, even at 0.20.

    Technical:
    480 second images Red -7 Green 14 Blue 11
    Scope: TMB 152
    Imager: STC-7 + SC-2
    Mount: AP 900

    Thanks Colin....

    The STC-7 is working well even with the hot Wx in the SW UT-USA. The lows at night are 35c !
