Description

This is the first time I've tried to shoot M27 with both a longer focal length scope AND some knowledge and skill. I tried early on with a 2000mm Ritchey-Chretien but didn't have any idea what I was up against so I failed miserably. Then 3 years ago I got a surprisingly good shot with a 550mm refractor but didn't really have a solid data set to work with since it was a last-minute decision to shoot that when my original target didn't pan out.
So this was my first real attempt with my best setup.
And I gotta say, Pixinsight is the BOMB!
