Description

During a very bright moon, as I try to take my opportunities under less than ideal conditions at the moment, I managed to image this object. I am pleased to have been able to image this with the Cassegrain because it gives me a better FOV for such small objects. Due to the conditions, I got 66 Has at 1 minute each and then a mad 175 OIIIs. This totals an imaging time of 4 hours and 1 minute - why do I always get these odd numbers - last time it was 4 minutes less, now 1 minute over. I will not make the same joke again! I think this is the best I have ever imaged of M76 and bearing in mind how bright everything was, I feel I have achieved somehting.

Take care and thanks.
