The Bubble Challenge edits. Photographing space - Astrophotography
Myself and Joe Nevara collaborated on the Bubble Nebula collecting 27hours of narrowband data. After editing we decided to offer out the same data to anyone who also fancied a go. We had a superb response and some excellent edits were posted. Some other youtubers not only posted their images but shared their processing steps.

ProLogik balance meter and tuning tool
https://www.prologik-astro.com/

The meter is of a high quality and works really well. Not only is it great for helping to find perfect balance in stiff mounts but it is a fantastic aid to fine tuning your mount for the best guiding. It will assist you in adjusting your worm drive/gear mesh to the optimum setting and giving you great smooth tracking and excellent guiding numbers.
