Description

I took this in 2022 at the Okie-Tex Star Party with my 11" RASA. I did not realize until coming home to process that the telescope was not planer to the incoming light so I had horribly out of focus stars in the bottom right of the camera which I think in this image is the bottom left. Due to cropping, it was not a big deal in this image. I used an L-extreme filter which I probably should not have. It forced me to take 5 min subs which I thought was odd. Then realized later that it was due to the fast scope (f2.2) and the filter not lining up correctly with Ha. I was used to my C11 and forgot until the next day.
