Description

Taken with a one shot color camera but I separated the channels and combined as SHO with Ha as luminance version. I used the Optolong L-quad filter and combined with a fast refractor it gathered enough Data to make a respectable image for a SHO. The William Optics Pleiades 68 seems slightly over priced but the high quality of the scope makes up for the premium price. No regrets. fYi backfocus ended up with 56.5 mm.
