Description

This image is a bit of a by-product of my comet image. For that image I needed a pretty wide FoV, so used the FSQ-106 with the 645 QE 0.72x reducer. This makes the scope a 382mm f/3.6 instrument. And since the comet would not become visible until the early morning, there was imaging time left in the evening. That resulted in this wide-field image. I've not done many real wide-field shots of relatively small targets. But this was a good opportunity to try it out, and to also try out the dual-narrow-band filter (L-Extreme) in combination with an OSC camera. Unfortunately clouds and technical issues did not make maximum use of the available time, but over two nights I was able to capture almost 6 hours of data.
