Description

Running the second rig while working multiple projects on the RC. This image of the Owl Nebula and Surfboard Galaxy heralds a new way of capturing data for me, RC capturing different wavelengths on multiple targets dictated by sky/moon conditions. While it is galaxy season, there is still no reason not to use a wider field and these colourful targets were perfect. A little trouble with gradients and calibration but managed to salvage a decent image. Doing OSC imaging feels like a breeze in comparison to narrawband.
