Description

I shot this same nebula last year with my TSA-120 and had to shoot 2-panels and 3X the exposure time in order to get half the field of view of this.

I'm hoping to do an even wider field, full narrowband image of this at some point. But I haven't been able to successfully image since around August of 2016... so it was great just to get out and shoot.

I hadn't used my rig for over 3 months so my guide camera was knocked out of focus... so I just went unguided which worked out very well. I love my Paramount!

Description: A bit gentler on the NR and less abuse to the stars... a bit less contrast as well.
