Here we have a try at NGC 7497, a spiral galaxy that appears through some nearby (relatively speaking) galactic cirrus. This arrangement makes for a very interesting image with the galaxy seemingly emerging from the mist.
This marks a first-light for a new mount, a 10Micron GM1000HPS. My HDX110 was giving me a lot of trouble and interestingly, Orion will not even talk about it with me since I bought it second hand. Skywatcher won't help either because it is Orion badged. Nice... and I will not forget that when it comes time to buy stuff which, as we all know, happens a lot in this hobby.
In any case, the 10Micron is an amazing mount and thank you to
@Tim Hutchison for your help! The mount simply exudes quality and is simple to install, configure and use. Fantastic guiding with a 50 point model, just really amazing in all respects.
This image could definitely be better, of course. I tore down my whole rig to change out the mount and so I did a full on cleaning of the C9.25. When I re-assembled, I had some spacing issue which did not help matters. But since corrected.
I hope you like this one, comments and critcism always welcome. Good health and clear skies to everyone!
