Description

My second time around on this part of the sky with two different images presented. The first image uses Ha as the Lum channel while the second uses a 50-50 blend of Lum and H-a in order to bring out the dark nebula below the two H-a areas which was my ultimate goal as this area is usually neglected and difficult to see with only H-a as the lum channel. The Rokinon is a great lens and I've finally have it producing a flat field after removing the Canon flange and no longer using an adapter. Instead, an M42 threaded ring is connected directly to the lens. Imaged during the Perseid meteor shower. Usually, Arizona is always socked in with clouds at that time of year, but not this year. I saw about 60/hour after moonset.
