Description

A short 43 minute stack under a full moon of the Pelican Nebula in H-a light, as a test of my first imaging from a permanent pier. Since I was mostly doing a checkout, I did not worry about flats or bias frames. Also had re-lubricated the mount in Feb, but this was first chance to try everything out. Always amazed at what a hydrogen-alpha filter can accomplish even with lots of moon LP going on.
