Description

After a dismal April, May is looking better as I have already had a couple of clear nights to image. Seeing is terrible here at this time of year but when the sky is clear it is hard to be picky. I have my CEM60 pretty well dialed in, RMS values are in the 0.50-0.60 range and that is at 0.49 AS/Pix at 1255mm FL. I might add some Ha to this but there are lots of other targets that are also tempting. Thanks for looking.
