Description

Even such a small target looks good in a wide field. Not much detail on the nebula though - that will have to wait for a larger scope. This is the 3 degrees-wide field that I get with my ZS61 and the ASi294MC Pro. I pushed M27 over a little in the frame because I thought I could acquire NGC6830....but that didn't work out.

There is one thing that I did differently while processing this image - I didn't crop it. While imaging in Gunnison I have been finding that there are no visible edge artifacts after integration. I've been cropping my images anyway thinking that the artifacts will turn up during processing. So, here's the test: can you see any in this image?
