Description

This is my second attempt at an object with my new kit, using the mono Atik 460EX with Baader LRGB filters and my 8" Skywatcher reflector. I took:

L - 3 hrs 36 mins - 27 subs at 8 minutes long each.

R - 1 hr 20 mins - 10 subs at 8 minutes long each.

G - 1 hr 20 mins - 10 subs at 8 minutes long each.

B - 1 hr 12 mins - 9 subs at 8 minutes long each.

Total integration time - 7 hours 28 mins
