Alas, the setup had to be done in a hurry with many problems and the Epsilon is badly collimated at this point in time. A planned maintenance trip now most likely faces travel restrictions.

So please bear with the image quality, especially on the left side. ;-)

At least H-alpha seems to work better in the combination with the Esprit 100 ED and QHY 268M, but still some problems with the flats.

See Astrobin here and here for details.

Because it’s that time of year … a fresh shot at a very familiar target during two clear nights in October. Ha, L, R, G, B with the QHY268M, but still facing problems with the Esprit and the Optolong filters.
