Description

Spurring myself onwards with this new scope, I just about squeezed into the FOV both of these iconic nebulae. I have come across an odd halo issue with the OIII filter, which is ironic because these fast filters are supposed to stop this - so the shop is looking into this for me - there is always something! and I really cannot cope with this in conjunction with my 294MM camera which seems to have an intermittent fault too - telling me 'failed exposure' a lot of the time! Anyway, I had to be very inventive to get round this halo problem when processing but here it is and I am pleased to have captured both at once. Thanks everyone. Simon
