The wait for clear skies is killing me! Your M81 M82 image is inspiring. Can you give me some details on the equipment used. ie: Which Telescope ? Which guide camera? Did you autoguide? What make of LRGB 1.25" filters are you using? How many dark frames, bias frames etc? I'd really appreciate any advice for my first imaging session. Clear skies are unusual in Johannesburg , South Africa, and I'd be grateful for any time saving suggestions. I have just received my 583wsg, and unfortunately have not had a clear night yet.
