Description

Finally back with this image of the Running Chicken nebula, a southern target. I was having cloudy skies for a very long time. This is also my first image with the 200mm f/2.8 lens. Thankfully it doesn't have chromatic aberration. And it is a fantastic lens. I can't wait to do my best with it, but it seems that i need to modify my camera soon, as this image could tell.

As I had a huge time without clear skies I forgot how to process images properly. And as I'm excited to share the results, I asked my high-skilled friend Mauricio Christiano de Souza to process the data for me. And he did a stunning job as expected! Thank you so much.

Now, i'm waiting for a dual axis motor to arrive, together with an auto-guiding kit. My setup is almost full. I hope i finish building it until the end of this year!
