Description

An attempt at the Veil Nebula from DSP-R in Animas, NM.  Used the FRA400 w/ Reduced (bringing it down to F/3.9) and it's interesting to contrast with the data collected with my RedCat51:

For future sessions with the FRA400 and Reducer I think I need to go to shorter exposures and collect more data/integration time.  Also, in each of the above I had a Narrowband filter (Optolong L-eXtreme) in front of the ASI2600MC OSC.  This makes a big difference.  Finally, the moon glow was real when capturing this data - doesn't work great for a nebula sans filters.
