Description

I always love this field and I feel like I try to shoot this every year. Last year I did high focal versions of NGC7331 and Stephans Quintet and this time I wanted to do widefield with E130D.

but my QHY814 Camera broke.. again and I had to stop imaging this group. I was left with a single 3 minute subframe from Blue filter and 2 sub frames in green and 7 subframes in red. The clouds moved in and those are the only color data I could reasonably salvage (The blue was bad but I had select at least one to complete this)

So the color data is *very* weak and I had severe gradients due to passing cloud..

This was shot with Takahashi E130D newtonian scope/QHY814A CCD/Astrodon LRGB filter on Astrophysics AP900 mount.
