NGC3372-the image that was never supposed to be

Well, thanks for the help from everyone in getting me going again with SGP. I hope I can continue to refine my setup and enjoy SGP some more.

I took a few images to test out everything and although it is not quite perfect, I’m very happy at how it turned out, considering that it was never meant to be one to display. It was a focus/guiding/dithering/sequence test.

I can see that I can refine auto focus even more so I will wait for my new flattener/reducer and then go for it again.

Enough rambling on, NGC3372 in LRGB in 47 minutes. I guess i’m lucky it is so big and bright.
