Lots of great objects in this field four of which i have named checked in the title to this
Blue Eyes is my made up name for NGC 6914 !
I have swapped out my Orion 8" for my Redcat51 on the Atlas mount with the idea of getting some good widefield of nebula through the run up to Xmas
Original swap out went well although test shots on M13 showed some not round stars at the edges which may be a bit of tilt , having often found that things get worse rather than better than when trying to fine tune things I decided that they were "acceptable" you may disagree lol
I centred on the Inchworm Cluster (NGC6910) to take this
Given the short summer nights + clouds I got 17hrs data over 11 nights
Ha 60 x 300s
Sii 72 x 300s
Oiii 72 x300s
=17hrs
Could probably have done with double the time on Oiii lol
I had loads of problems with the Deepsky Dad auto focuser not connecting , had to swap out the powered USB cable i have into the house and this improved
I also need to dial in the NINA autofocus parameters a bit better as focus was a bit variable through the runs meaning i lost some data
My friend says if you look at the pic side on (butterfly at the bottom ) you can see a giant cosmic teddy bear
