I've waited 2 full weeks for the weather to clear, the moon
to disappear, and the wind to die down. And last night I was finally able to
try out my new Hyperstar on the EdgeHD 1100. I picked M42, the Orion Nebula, for
the first test and after taking 50 x 20sec subs with an LP filter here's my
first result, processed in PI and PSP.

Then I targeted the Pleiades star cluster, M45. I’ve always
wanted to see if I could get the subtle blue nebulosity to show and with the
Hyperstar, success!

These are only the first test images of the new equipment.
Once I get the calibration done and the proper flats applied (should eliminate the light smudgy areas around the image) I should be able
to extract more detail and keep the backrgound dark.
