Description

Such a bright and easy target to process. Lots of colour options. I was mostly interested in trying out longer subs with huge thanks to @Brady for suggesting this to me. I have always used an OAG with my 8" SCT but have now got my stock focuser tightened up to use an OAG with my SW 80ED as well, which I used for this. I think I could probably go with longer subs still but wanted an easy target to test it out and am happy with the results so far. I've used 600sec subs on this and the Horsehead Nebula, both are the cleanest and best images I think I have managed to date but the true test will be on targets with less magnitude
