Description

Been sitting on this data for a few months now trying to process it and be happy with it. Think I got it to a point now I am. Though I did not add the H-alpha data. Part of the issue is the vignetting is horrible even with flats. The f/4 light cone and 1.25" filters is too much to correct. So this actually represents the last likely image taken with my ATIK CCD and 1.25" filters now that I got a mono QHY and 36mm filters

Regardless, I am super impressed with the optics in this reflector and the light absorbing ability of f/4.
