Description

My second attempt to capture the Witches Broom Nebula. 

IDAS NBZ 10nm filter was used by me for the first time. The overall setup is built from scraps and spare parts, but performed well . The mount  (AZ-GTI) did much better than I thought, total guide RMS was around 0.4 - 0.5' while the payload was at 9lb (not counting counter weights). Camera is uncooled QHYCCD 585C.

Processing is barebones stacking with flats and bias frames for calibration. then SPCC and NoiseX. Very small touch of star shrink with BlurX.
