Hi,

When there was nothing else convenient, an article in S&T prompted me to try my hand in imaging following NGC objects.

NGC 2451 was taken thru Skywatcher 120 ED and NGC 2546 using Megrez 80, both on mounts EQ6 pro. About 30 each subframes 2.5 min each, autoguided with DSI

Thanks Kochu.
I think the first one is better image-quality wise.
I trust your megrez 80 is the semi apo version?
Hope the Scorpius returns soon with M6 and M7....those would have been nice too!

I checked my star atlas. Perhaps you should increase the FOV? Just a thought...

Hi rich,

My Megrez is not Semi -Apo. I think it is one version before their Semi Apo came out.

Hi Andrew, I will try next attempt using FR.
