Description

Working with my Redcat 51 last week when the clouds finally broke.  I was attempting to capture both the Spaghetti Nebula (SH2-240) as well as Markarian's Chain (NGC4461).  I'm guessing seeing conditions and or transparency was simply not enough to capture SH2-240 but I was able to get a nice RGB series on Markarian's Chain.  I know this is a favorite of many including myself.  While I didn't get a huge set of subs I acquired enough to get a nice image.
