    A single night's imaging of NGC 2264. Poor framing on my part; will work on that.

    Mount: AP 900
    CamerA : STC-7 and STC-2 AG
    FeatherTouch autofocuser


    Captured and processed exclusively in Maxim DL (6.30 beta) all channels in HighGain mode
    Blue : three @300'
    Green : five @ 300'
    Red : five @ 300'

    Transparency: Good
    Seeing: Average-

    I'd give it 5 stars, but it's upside down :D
    Nice work Tim.

    I'll rotate the camera and retake 'em!

    I did rotate the camera to better frame the subject and centered it properly. To have the rotation exact while manually moving the camera and freezing at the same time proved elusive.

    M81 turned out decent.

    That trio of galaxies is amazing.
