Description

This is my first deep sky image in over two months after a weather and health related hiatus...its feels SO GOOD to be back out under the stars!

As I wasn't sure how much clear skies I'd have, so I eased myself back into the game with a quick, no fuss system comprising my Samyang 135mm F2 lens and ZWO 533MC Pro dedicated astro camera.  I decided to swing my AZ-EQ6 GT Pro straight ups towards Sadr and jinked over to the compact Crescent Nebula for an extended wide-field view. 

I might be lucky with more clear skies tonight, so I'll try to add more to this image and see if I can get some more details!

Hope you're all getting a chance to get out with your scopes...have a great week all!
