Description

It has been quite the summer in New England.  Between the seemingly incessant rain, and the flooding it brings, to the smoke wafting down from Quebec, it has been a summer with very few nights of imaging.  Rarely has work, the sky and the smoke aligned to allow a night out.

A few days ago I got one such night. I decided to use it to finally test my ZWO duo-band filter and my ASI533MC mounted on the back of a Canon 70-200 f/4 L USM zoom lens.  The hope was to be able to do some very widefield imaging.

As is happens, I'm very pleased with the result.  The 533 sensor is smaller than APS-C and seems to avoid the poor stars at the edge that are often present in these lenses.
