Description

A few  years ago I imaged NGC 7822 using a 5 inch refractor and ZWO ASI071 camera and an IDAS NB1 filter. That night  i had dew problem with the ZWO ASI071 (desiccant needed to be replaced) causing many of the exposures to be unusable.  I still was able to develop a decent image but I decided to try it again. This time I decided to image with a Stellarvue 90mm refractor and a 0.8 focal reducer so that I could capture more of the dark lanes and the extended star forming region. 

NGC 7822 is a really interesting object and it is ideally located for me at this time of year.
