Description

To evaluate unmodified 7D Mark II suitability for Ha nebulae.

This was taken in approx. 20.3 mag/sq arc-sec sky with Astronomik CLS CCD clip filter.

This was a good learning image for ISO setting experiments and fine tuning the auto-guiding techniques for long exposures.

The processing will evolve but any more data will have to wait for next year.
