Description

I recently purchased a used Atik One 9.0 for use in my home observatory with higher resolution images than my QSI683 when paired with my WO FLT132.  I am familiar with this sensor from my shared rig in Spain and think I can utilise its small pixels in my rural dark-ish home skies.  I have its 5 slot filter wheel configured for LRGBHa at the moment and will likely leave it as such for the winter season.  I was unsure what target to use as my first light and chose the scattering of dark dust in Sh2-119 a target I have not imaged.  I've also cropped the image to place the arc of dusty clouds central to the frame.  September has given the UK some settled clear evenings and I have been able to collect quality data for this first image.
