I use my scope in a small search program. The following
image mosaic is from the night of 4/4/2002.
Scope is permanent polar aligned on wedge, powered up, sync on a star
Then controlled by Astrovideo scripting for imaging and
goto'ing. These images are an un-attended run lasting over
two hours.
Each individual shot is about 16x12 arcmin.
3x60secs, lx200 10inch F10 @ F3, 15 darks median
averaged, "full_pr" in IRIS with dummy flat and
offset, TouCam Pro SC2 water cooled peltier (-15C).
NOTE: The position of NGC3521 is off because of an error in my
coordinates in my input list. My candidate list has its DEC
as +00 02 versus -00 02, so it is off in DEC by 4 arc min.

Each frame is a single 30sec exposure
