Description

I have been itching to image with long focal length scope this year but the weather has been very frustrating . I did get 2 partially clear nights last week and with a waning moon, I decided on imaging the iconic Horse head.

I had some trouble imaging due to getting a guide star (too much HA dust in this region and picking a guide star in OAG has been tough).

Originally I did wanted to do a HaRGB version, but with weather turning again to clouds/rain, this is going to remain a monochrome image

This was shot with the QHY814 and Edge11 + 0.7 reducer riding on AP900 mount . Total integration is 10x20 min
