Chalice Nebula NGC 2018

This is a part of the Large Magellanic Cloud one I have never tried before. In the shot below it to the right on the top part of the shot.



This is the second target with the Starpoint Australis SP3 This is my second camera QHY183C. A target I have never shot before and thought a good trial for the focuser on the smaller sensor camera. The focuser I just carried on as If I have been using the SP3 for the last three years. I did not bother to do a first up focus to see if it was OK , I just pressed Play.

The focuser worked perfectly all night long all three nights we had very heavy smoke the last two clear night. This is 120 shots. On the strength of what I see I will put the mono camera and filter wheel on the focal train , Stay tuned...

QHY183C -10c 120 shots 5 min over three nights ..
