Description

My last target was the Flame and Horse Head nebula and while waiting for the Orion belt to reach the right altitude to be captured, I selected these two wonderful objects as pastime. I had previously captured both NGC7331 and the Stephan Quintet individually with the 10" Meade SC at f/10, and I was curious to see the difference... Indeed, the difference from f/4 to f/10 is significant. This certainly helps a lot, especially when the nice weather windows are tight.
In this image, I struggled a little bit with the background because I was surrounded by Christmas lights! My neighbour placed a very nice wide-spectrum LED lights on his balcony, and somehow, they entered my telescope!
Anyway, Happy new Year to you all...neighbour included!
