Soul

After cleaning the corrector, remounting it etc. I decided to check if everything was ok yesterday night. Tried to image Soul Nebula (IC1848). Here's what I achieved:
My flats have gotten much better as can be witnessed in this image. I also too Flat Darks this time around. So here's the skinny on this: 17x10min light frames, 60x0.1s Flats, 40x0.1s Flat Darks and 40 Bias frames. All in all a pretty decent image assuring me that things have not gone horribly wrong. The collimation looks pretty good as well. Although this image probably needs much longer exposures time on each sub frame. Will have to come back to this target.
