Description

The NGC7380 with its dense star fields, dust and emission variations and not to mention how faint it is,
It was a great target for the RC, with 3 nights and 101 frames of 300 sec, I did notice that I got some star trails
at the corners even with good guiding numbers, I thought was collimation issue but on  60 secs or lower the stars are perfect.  
I will  figure this out but overall I am very pleased with the results.

Any comments and criticism are welcome,

Clear sky,

Fernando
