Description

First light for my new ZWO 533 mm. Nights are short in the Normandy by now and the moon was around. I decided to try an unusual detail of molecular clouds near to Sadr. RGB and Ha. Everything worked quite well, I was surprised that it was play and plug with this camera. These CMOS sensors are performant. I hope to get the Starizona Night Owl by the end of the year because imaging at 0.61"/pix at f/8.3 is a bit too slow for my taste, given that I have only a few nights per year.
Thanks to Uwe Deutermann's plate solving (see below) we know that the darkest region of the dust nebula is LDN 881.
