Description

This is a crop of the Pillars of Creation area with stars removed. Taken in 2019. CDK14 and ASI1600mm. Narrowband SHO.

Looks like these were only 180 and 300 second exposures through the SHO filters. Next summer, I will try this again with my ASI6200mm and longer exposures.

I have a lot of older data that I gathered while getting my permanent setup ready and tuned. I am now using an ONAG and focuslock along with a Pyxis rotator. I am just about finished with getting this large (to me) scope setup the way I want. Now, just need a normal summer. Believe it or not - we have had one of the coolest, wettest and cloudiest summers in central TX that I can remember.
