IC 446 - a work in progress...

[Dunmunro]

Here's IC 446 from tonight:

10in SCT at F8, ASI071 MC Pro camera, 52 x 5min ( 4hrs 20min) subs on a CEM120 mount. All aspects of image acquisition, centring, autofocus and autoguiding, starting with the mount parked, was robotically controlled by AA9 SP3. I am still imaging this object and will gather another 15 or so subs tonight.
