Description

Bit of a test with a cheap SVBony 60mm fl240mm apochromatic guidescope coupled to a ZWO ASI1600mm Pro (piggybacked on the SW 8"f5 Newtonian). Image heavily cropped to get rid of the woeful coma (i.e. star coma) on the edges of the FOV due to the cheap optics of the SV106 that were designed for guiding rather than imaging.

Despite these limitations in the imaging train, some nice structure in the tail, and more than I had managed to pull out previously.
60x5secs Lum + 12x5secs for the RGB filters.
