Description

I took 138 subs of this, at 1 minute long each, and I am pleased to say that I was just about able to bring out the IFN, without pushing it further than the data would like to go. I think this proves the quality of the data and the skies. Pier 5 uses a Takahashi Epsilon 180 F/2,8 astrograph, on a Skywatcher EQ 8 mount with a ZWO ASI071 Pro Colour CMOS camera. Integration time was 2 hours and 18 minutes.
