Description

Although we've enjoyed a nice and warm spring this year, the clouds have not been conducive to looking at pretty stars. But it looks like we've got a few days of nothing but sunshine coming up!

Shaking the cob webs off the telescope, I captured just under two hours of data on the dark nebula NGC 7023 (The Iris Nebula). Instead of using the DSO settings on the #QHY268C I went with the more basic "high gain" mode and was able to find a number that made sense for my dark skies.
