Description

Shot this image using two systems at once (to get 7.8 hours of data on a night with only 6.5 hours of astronomical darkness). Luminance and H-alpha with an Apogee U16M on a SkyWatcher Esprit 100 with field flattener, and color with a ZWO294MC on a Samyang 135mm lens stopped to f/2.8. SQM measured the darkest I've ever seen at this site, 21.80! Wind was dead calm for a change. Perfect night!
