Description

LBJ National Grassland is about Bortle Class 4 area. Still used Optolong L-Pro 77mm for shooting the nebula. It's was too windy and the Star Adventurer can't stay very stable. This could be read from the guiding chart. So, as the result, there are some little "tails" created by every single gust wind blow.

Humidity started to climb up and the gust wind was more frequent during this session. Somehow the focus was shifted and the stars around the nebula are very blurry in the integrated result. Clouds covered the sky very quickly past midnight. Only got less than one hour integration. It's my first try on the reflection nebula. Will do better next time!
