Description

Might be my last image with the OSC.  Have a 1600mm-Pro on the way.  The 294mc-pro has treated me very well and I've very much enjoyed the L-eNhance and L-eXtreme filters, especially given my location within a stone's throw of NYC.  Really opened up opportunities for imaging.  This is the 4th light for the CEM-26, so I'm still mainly getting to know the mount.  Wanted to test out 10-minute exposures just to make sure I could do it...guiding was below one second all night, averaging about 0.75".  Pretty sure I can do better than that after I eliminate some flexure in my rig.  But, regardless, the stars were round.  Only had time to grab 70 minutes of data and 3 darks...no flats.  Stretched the crap out of it...
