Description

The pleiades recorded with the Redcat and QHY combo.

The large field of view that the Redcat offers is ideal for me to record such wide fields. To be honest, I was surprised how much of the delicate dark nebulae I was able to work out despite only Bortle 4 without pushing the noise immeasurably.

I will probably buy a second camera to run the Redcat permanently on my old AVX, maybe a mono camera.
