Description

I took a night when my dew heater was down to finally learn how to use my ZWO EAF (owing thanks to lots of tips from Cloudy Nighter's), and this came out so well I thought I'd post. I do love the purity of an H-alpha image, anyway. 

The Askar FRA400 produces such a nice, beautifully flat field, too, that I can't imagine imaging with anything else. It's a fantastic scope!

Next I REALLY need to pay attention to framing so I don't cut the object into pieces. 

I'm posting this as a "finished" image because when I get back to it I'm going to rotate my camera 90deg and play with composing a bit so I can get this better centered  - it's one of my favorite objects.
