wingeing Pom 660 Report post Posted October 30, 2018 Got out for a couple of hours last night before the Moon rose. This is 11 x 10-minute subs using the Hyperstar III on the C11 with a Trius 814C OSC CCD. Noel Carboni processed this one as it was very difficult to sort out (flatten) with a large bright nucleus in the middle of the frame. Greg 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How often do you need to refocus? Ray I didn't refocus during those 110-minutes, but it was coming up to refocus time Usually need to refocus the Hyperstar every hour on a cold night.
