Description

2nd Light with this EdgeHD 8 setup. Data acquired over 2 nights. Ideally these galaxies should be shot without a reducer. Native 2000 FL would give much better results I believe.

Description: 2nd Light for this setup. This is slightly cropped just at the edges to clean up the edges. I really like the star shapes this EdgeHD with the .7x reducer produces. The seeing wasn't all that good during this imaging session. I have the 68mm Large OAG and asi174 on the way for better guiding which may improve the guiding and star shapes even more.
