Description

This is the highest resolution image of the North America and Pelican nebulae I've captured thus far.  I recently began using High Gain Mode on my QHY 268M, which provides greater dynamic range, more fullwell capacity and lower read noise than Photographic Mode. I think the difference is noticeable.  Also, I can't say enough good things about the optics of the Stellarvue SVX102T!
