Description

I've imaged this target at f/7 but it was just barely within my reach because I use an Alt/Az mount on a wedge, so my camera was very close to impacting the mount base at the declination needed from my location. So I decided to try it with the HyperStar as it has no such limitations with the camera on the front of the OTA. Really pleased with how this turned out. I think the elephant trunk itself has nearly as much detail as the close up I did at f/7.
