On Friday night the skies were actually clear for a while so I set the Astrotrac up for some images to test my Baader IR block filter under a sky with no Moon. The session was cut short by cloud but I did manage some images, pictures to follow.
Looking at the Society website I noticed that I’d imaged M83 using a Global-Rent-A-Scope system (now iTelescope) some time ago. A quick search of my hard disk turned up the original frames so I restacked then in Maxim DL and processed the L & RGB images in PixInsight.
