Description

Slightly improved the framing and captured more than 3 hours of Ha this time. There's a strange noise pattern that I'm not sure where it's coming from, but I only have a phone and a super ancient laptop while travelling so further investigation will have to wait until I'm back home.

It's certainly not the best time of the year to capture this region, but shooting galaxies with a 55mm lens seemed even less reasonable. Pretty sure I'll come back to this later in the year, maybe also adding OIII/SII or even shooting in LRGB.

The place I was shooting from was rather beautiful:

I've used custom rig for the Otus lens to mount the EAF and ASIAIR and attach everything to the Star Adventurer:
