The first light for the Mesu 200 MkII mount. Good part of the data was collected with the Moon up and I tried to fix this by integrating a bit more than planned. Fortunately enough during the 5 and 6 of March I had time to shoot before the Moon rising.
Guiding also wasn't perfect the first two nights because I made mistakes calibrating the mount, this was fixed also the 5 and 6 of March.
The processing was quite hard: with my great surprise, after stacking the luminance frames, I discovered that the background was showing the Cirrus (IFN) faint signal (see revision B)
The signal was too faint to pull it out properly, so I opted to hide it as best as I could. (By the way to me it's still visible as tiny variations in the background brightness but I guess it's because I am also the one who processed the picture
)
The Ha areas of NGC 2976 galaxy is what I like the most of this pictures, I set an undefinite appointment with that Galaxy at a higher focal lenght.
