This is my first attempt to use my new observatory and equipment after a year or so gap having moved house to Cornwall and built a new observatory. Having spent until 1:30am drift aligning the mount (I got nowhere with the Gemini II polar axis correction feature) I was determined to get a picture of something! LRGB image of messier 64. QSI 683 camera operating at -30C : 5 sub-frames each, luminance 300s 1×1 bin high gain; RGB 200s 2×2 bin low gain. Calibrated and aligned in Maxim DL. High pass filter applied and LRGB combine in photoshop.
