Description

I had been wanting to capture the heart for sometime now. Finally had clear skies and was able to get enough time to image before dew cut the night short. DewBuster has arrived and awaiting clear skies to get back outside.

Not sure why, but AB won't let me enter my gear used so here it is below:

Orion Atlas EQ-G

Orion ED80 for imaging

Orion ST80 for guiding

Orion SSAG, guiding camera

PHD2

Bahtinov mask for focus

Nikon D810A

Baader UHC-S filter(imaged from Pflugerville, Texas(about 15min N of Austin, TX))



12x600sec light frames

3x600sec dark frames

~15 bias frames
