Description

This was more of a test than a real session - but in the end I was pretty impressed of what the Epsilon 130 is capable of... LDN is a dark nebula in Cepheus, kind of faint. I was look for a target like this for one of my first attempts withe the really fast Epsilon (f/3.3). Most nebulae are low over the horizon this time of the year (where I live) - but not the shark... Too bad the weather did not co-operate: I could only gather 9 subframes, 300s each. I will definitely redo this target...
