Description

I thought I had my new setup well optimized meanwhile, but apparently the stars are slighty distorted towards a triangular shape. Not sure where this is coming from as a week before I didn't notice it. A pinched mirror? Anyway, the nebula hopefully distracts from these minor artefacts...

I guess that was my last narrow band target for the next months, so I'm happy that I found a chance to capture it!
