Description

Hi All
I brought my Askar FRA400 and ZWOasi 585 MC camera out of hibernation.
27 August 2023 Second light with Askar FRA400 and the ZWOasi 585 MC camera.
The seeing conditions not very good as the mist started to form on my rig.
I managed to get 30X300 subs before the fog and clouds rolled in and ended the session.
I decided to do the Pac-Man Nebula which was discovered by Edward Emerson Barnard in August 1883, 140 years ago. He Described it as "a large faint nebula.
Not the best image, beggar's can't be choosers. But I'll take it.
Thank you for looking and your support.
CS Tam
