Description

Well the imaging was not all that lucky in the end: haze and cloud plagued the session so much so that out of an hour of imaging I could salvage only 300 4 seconds light frames, for a meager total integration of 20 minutes!

It should have been the "night of the globulars", with a plan to image at least M5, M13, M14 and M92, and possibly even M10 and M12, but the weather changed too early to allow me to do that.

The final result is not bad, but clearly the resolution is quite lower than that of the monochrome 178MM camera at the same focal length.
