Description

Very much a beginner effort.. a scope of this weight and focal length is very challenging for newbies but we need the reach to get in tight on planetary nebula like M27. PNs are IMHO the most beautiful and complex objects to image.

The focal reducer was not well positioned for this capture so the stars are quite distorted unfortunately. Lesson learned!
