Description

It has been a long while since I have pulled out the Hyperstar, so this was really supposed to be a test run of long exposures and equipment at home. Turned out great, wish I had gone even longer than 10 minutes.

First time using the Baader High-Speed narrowband filter under the light pollution at home. Made a huge difference, hardly any vignetting at all in the original image. No flats or calibration frames used at all.

Also first time I really had autofocus working perfectly too. With the huge light bucket of Hyperstar, there is no issues autofocusing with a Ha filter.
