Description

My first attempt on this target -- I used a ZWO Duo narrow band filter because the moon was bright last night.

This was a bonus image, as I didn't expect (based on the weather forecast) to be able to keep imaging until midnight.

However, my flats were completely messed up -- to the point of being completely and utterly unusable.  So this is without flat frame calibration, which is sad, because otherwise I like this image.. I'd like to spend more time here to pick up the nebulosity.   Visually, these stars are like jewels in the night, but you need a scope that isn't too powerful, as the field of view is important.  With my AT 72EDII, I finally can image this. 

I will definitely come back with a better flat frame solution.  And maybe a few more hours on this target.
