Description

Atik 460ex camera with 5nm Astrodon Ha filter. Canon 100mm L lens at f/2.8. Orion Atlas Pro mount with Orion 50mm guide scope and Lodestar X2 guide camera. 5 x 10 min Ha exposures = 50 min. Processed in Pixinsight and Photoshop CC. Flats and bias frames used. Shot from my front yard in Durham, NC. Target went behind a tree and clouds came in so less time than desired.
