Description

Who says that the main objects should be in the center? Well this was also an attempt to image less imaged areas to find something new while playing it safe by including some iconic objects. I am surprised how well the Owl Nebula and M108 (NGC3556) were resolved by the RASA at a focal length of 400 mm, and it had no problem catching the Owl's outer ring, but I have to admit that I could not find any particularly interesting IFN or other features in this area, except for some smaller galaxies.

Version B-E is a crop to get closer to the main attractions.
