Description

This is my first go at the Dragons with newer ASI2600MM camera... I wanted to add a second panel to show a wider view that also captured the little nebula PK 336-0.1. which I find fascinating.

As this is starting to set in my early evening I've settled for around 6 hours for each panel, so 12 hours total. Something to pick up again next year ;-)

Something a bit special here is I am getting my CEM70 mount serviced and wanted to see if my CEM40 mount could handle my APM130 with Eagle, Night crawler etc... payload is 17.5kg so pretty hard up against the 18kg limit of the CEM40... surpised at how well it manages and I'm getting reasonable sub arc-second guiding often as low as 0.6... not bad at all and better still it's actually more even RA to DEC so stars tend to be more circular... helps that I have the CEM40 on the CEM70's Tripier which is a far more sturdy platform than the literoc tripod.

Stacked and combined as mosaic in APP into Ha, OIII and SIII channels, recombined and processed in Startools. Finished in PS.
