Description

This is my first shot with the ASI294MM Pro camera and also with a used Canon 135mm prime I picked up for wide-angle shots.  I stopped the lens down to f4.5 and I stuck with the 2x2 binning to retain the full well depth and for the smaller file sizes.  It seems to do pretty well resolution-wise when combined with drizzle integration.  Not sure I will ever use the 1x1 binning.

This is about 16 hours of 3-minute subs using HA and O3 filters.  The final version is cropped for better framing, the original version is uncropped.
