Description

First light through the 12" Truss, using the 5nm Ha filter. Attached the Pegasus FocusCube 2, and it seemed to work well. I'm not used to such high focal lengths, and my local poor seeing didn't help. Tough to keep the stars tight, but tracking seemed to keep them fairly round at least. Imaged over two nights. Gain at 20% the first night (~unity), but decided to bump it to 40 the second night, and ended up stacking everything.
