Description

This is the first-light image of an Astro-Physics Stowaway 92. This is a mini 2-frame mosaic with huge (90%) overlap, to slightly expand the field of view. This is why the aspect ratio is different from the native ratio of the camera.

The Abell 31 planetary nebula is very faint for regular RGB photography. I ended up with spending three nights on this first-light image. With such deep integration, one can see some Galactic cirrus (aka. IFN) in this area. There is also a hint of faint red nebulosity extending from Abell 31 to its south (right side).
