      Description

      Hope none of you get severe allergies, because I've got a lot of dust for you today!

      I spent last Saturday out at our local Astro groups' dark site with both scopes (Edge HD 8" and Samyang 135mm lens). This was my target for the Samyang lens, along with ZWO ASI294MC camera, and HEQ5 mount. 100x 180sec exposures.

      Dark neb/dustyness in full natural RGB colour is definitely my favourite type of target, and it's been good to get the Samyang out again recently - it's so satisfying getting all the data for an image in one night as opposed to spending weeks (and sometimes months) acquiring data on a single object!
