Description

I used an AT60ED refractor for this with the ASI294MC Pro. What I like about this choice is that you can see plenty of detail (including NGC206) but the galaxy is also placed in its context better than if it filled the frame.

The image shows some field curvature which may be flexure from a loosening of the camera angle adjuster.
