Description

My first attempt at a planetary nebula with my Celestron 11" Nexstar. This image is OK, but not near as good as it could be. Unfortunately, I am having guiding issues. After some research I believe my issue is "differential flexure," which is fairly common when using guidescopes on big aperture telescopes. The easy solution is getting an Off Axis Guider, if I can only find one, ha ha. I only ended up with 11 good images to stack, had to delete way too many.
