This ten section mosaic was taken on ten separate evenings,on the first six I set the camera on X 1 bin mode because the sky conditions were very clear with stars visible down to about magnitude 5. The other four evenings there were intermittent clouds and moon light so I set the camera on X 2 bin mode.
The telescope was my ten inch f /4.8 reflector mounted on a Vixen Atlux mount, PHD auto guiding, an Atik 383L mono CCD camera and a set of Astronomik RGB filters.
I captured five minute sub frames with the camera set on x1 bin mode and sixty second sub frames with the camera set on x2 bin mode.
The total exposure time was 60 minutes for each filter on x1 and 20 minutes on x2.
