In spite of the pretty poor weather, galaxy season is still underway. I’m really happy with the detail in M108 and the central star in M97. The Antlia RGB filter is proving challenging at the processing stage as some very unusual reflections are apparent. This might also be light leaks in the flats (more likely, in fact). To be investigated.
The EQ6R Pro guided beautifully all night at around 0.8"/pixel. The last fix I implemented was the handling of RA backlash which I had missed because the PHD2 guiding suggested that the backlash was in the Dec axis.
