Description

First attempt at this target, and I had hoped for better conditions, but the clouds rolled in about 1:30am, and I couldn't use any of the subsequent frames.

Still, the results even with less data than planned seem very pleasing to me.  This is at approximately 1290mm focal length, with the moon up at about 60%.

This is actually IC1318b, from Sad Region (or alternatively, the Gamma Cygni Nebula), which is a diffuse emission nebula.

This one shot camera is pretty amazing, but I'm starting to pine for a monochrome so I can start shooting in SHO.  Maybe I should just use a sulfur filter with my OSC to start?
