Description

This started as a session to test my new (to me) Takumar 135mm f/3.5 lens I picked up at a camera swap. The results looked good so it turned into two full nights to capture both RGB and narrowband Ha data.

This was also my return to AP after nearly a year of not quite being able to get out under the sky (or at least not when it was clear and moonless!).

The RGB data was shot with the lens at f/5.6, the Ha data was shot with the lens at f/3.5.
