Description

I took this image using my Pentax zoom lens attached to my DSI IIC using a Mogg adapter, which screws into the T thread on the camera body. Using a small threaded ZWO screw-in filter holder, I am able to mount a 1.25" LPF close to the DSI chip. The camera/lens was mounted on my Meade 2080 SCT to allow tracking. The image is heavily deconvoluted to try and bring out more detail in the nebula wings, and I was pleased to get a hint of the running man nebula (NGC 1977).
