Description

This has always been my favorite nebula. I've always thought it looked very haunting as if Cassiopeia's ghostly apperition is actually reaching out to us across the great void of deep space. Very timely as Halloween is nearly upon us. I hope you like it as much as I do.

Also, I recently deforked my Celestron 9.25 SCT and this is my first image using the new CGX mount. The CGX tracks much better and I eventually want to shoot at f/10 which I was unable to do with the fork mount and wedge.

Happy Halloween!
