This is my current equipment setup...

Hardware:

Telescope: Borg 77EDII
Camera: QSI 660wsg-8
Software:


Post Processing Software:

 Deep Sky Stacker. ( Stacking and calibration)
PixInsight.

N.B. NO DARKS are used in post processing. (QSI660 camera has so little "Dark Current Noise" that it isn't required for post processing!)
Beach chair optional... :)
