Well, I think I finally have my rig sorted and settings dialled-in. This has took some time with equipment changes/upgrades and not many clear(ish) nights to try them out.... BUT.... the other night was good to go.
I thought I would target something "bright" and one I had not imaged before, so I chose IC1396 - the Elephant's trunk Nebula. It lies some 2,400 light years away in Cepheus. A good choice as it is circumpolar from my location.
My imaging window closed due to cloud just as I had 3 hours worth of data - a good chunk to work on!
