Description

Used my Celestron EdgeHD11 with a Celestron 0.7x Focal Reducer, on my Atlas AZ/EQ-G mount. Effective focal length 1960mm at f/7. Guiding was accomplished using an Orion TOAG (off access guider), with a Starlight Xpress Lodestar X2 camera. Capturing camera was a Atik 460ex mono actively cooled CCD camera. Narrowband filter used was an Astrodon 3nm H-Alpha. Captured 10x10min subs. Clouds prevented me from capturing more than 10 subs. No Bias or Flats were captured. Post-Processing done with PixInsight and PS6.
