Description

***!!!!  I submitted my to a original image to Constructive Critique Request Forum. Wow what a wealth of knowledge from our community!!!! I reprocessed the image from the  ground up. The image is light years improve from my original !!!! A special thanks to Uwe Deutermann (https://www.astrobin.com/users/udeuterm/) who took a great deal of time to provide very thoughtful and honest critiques as well as wonderful  help and recommendations. ****!!!!!

This image was my first light for my new wide field set up configured around the Rokinon 135 mm. I recently decided to give the 3D printed rokinon mounting rings with EAF a try from Agena Astro. Boy have I been impressed with the setup. In addition, I also added a second full size but less powerful mount in the Celestron AVX for my 135mm and eventual Askar FRA 400 set up that I have had on back order since September. 

The goal for the this rig was to grab and go without any disassembly as compared to my CGX set up with my 9.25 edge and RASA 8.

This set up has been a blast so far and made the pairing with the ASI 294 MM incredible. With the 294 MM I used 1x1 bin 2.3 um pixel scale to get my pixel scale to 3.5"/pixel. This is a significant improvement from 4.63 bin 2x2 that I have used with the rokinon before with my 294 MC.  The detail and resolution obtained with a 135 mm lens is incredible, not to mention huge files size for each sub, 90 mb ish. 

The Heart Nebula, IC 1805 is a open cluster of stars surrounded by an mesmerizing hydrogen emission nebula in the constellation of the Cassiopeia. Located in the Perseus arm of the Milky Way, the nebula is a 7,500 light years from earth.

The  Soul Nebula, he soul nebula is a hydrogen emission nebula with several open clusters present in the constellation of Cassiopeia. Often paired with the heart nebula it is located 7,500 light years from earth.
