Description

Mirfak is the brightest star in Perseus. The star is a yellow- white class F5 lb supergiant.

Luminosity of 5000 suns. 510 light years away.

This was just a test run to see how my collimation was coming along. Close but no cigar!

This was captured before my latest Rosette nebula, in which I think I improved the collimation.
