Default Swan and Helix from A.S.I.G.N.

Had another crack at the Swan tonight, with better results. Also did the Helix nebula.

Also did the Helix nebula, 12 Subs at 3 minutes.

19 Darks at same exposure times and operating temperature.

No flat lights.

Hey Baz!

You are getting some good results, mate. I'm still waiting for a pic of your gear all set up, when you get to it.

Press on!

Bob
