Description

A test run to see what the C14 with the Starizona F7.5 reducer would bring on this subject. Focal lenght is still 2800mm so guiding is a challenge as well as seeing effects. 

The little tiny quasar next to the nebula is also captured, at a distance of 8 billion LY.

A previous attempt on this object dates from ancient times :-) with a C11 and Nikon D5100
