Description

After capturing only a couple of hours on this target last month with 130PDS, I returned with the RC8 to really capture the gorgeous details from this nebula. I'm happy twice about this picture, firstly that the learning curve on RC8 was faster than anticipated and I'm amazed about the quality of this OTA, and secondly that finally, the great summer targets are back. Overall I combined 300 sec with 600-sec using Ha and OIII 6nm filters from Astronomik while stack was done in APP and almost all processing in Pixinsight.
