Description

Acquired just enough time between lousy weather to put this one together. Most of the data was captured after I switched to a new mount, a 10 Micron GM1000 HPS. Really loving this mount so far, and the encoders allowed for shooting unguided imaging as promised. Came close to processing without the Ha, but had one bright, clear, moonlit night so took the opportunity. Glad I grabbed it because it makes a big difference in this target.
