Description

I captured the PacMan nebula, FireWorks Galaxy, Triangulum Galaxy (M33), and Pleiades (M45) in one night as I was testing out my new "Explore Scientific 127mm ED Essential Refractor". I like what I see so far. The stars may not look right though as I didn't check the focus as the night went on and my field flattener didn't have the correct spacing yet. I used Ha on the PacMan nebula. and my CLS filter on the other three. Each object was captured with one hour of exposure time.
