Description

First Light with the new gear – what can go wrong? Fortunately, almost nothing unexpected happened and instead of solving problems the agenda was to get used to the large, fast Newt and adopt my imaging-workflow respectively.

To not waste photons it made sense to just start with the first real object to gain experience. The Veil-Nebula was still high enough in this very first session in late October and early November. Only problem was that every clear night high clouds covered the sky and I was not sure about the impact on image quality.

During processing it turned out that even under these very mediocre conditions (SQM-L readings around 18.7-20.6mag/arcsec^2) and without using a Filter anyway signal was good enough to bring out enough detail.
