Description

First light in mono. I didn’t hold back testing my new mono setup and shoot under city center bottle 9 during full-moon. I pointed to the California Nebula because at this time of the year it passes in front of my balcony for 3 hours. It was supposed to be just a quick 1 night test, but I was so impressed with the subs that I repeated the process during 4 nights, collecting a total of 13hours. Processing the data has a few extra steps compared to OSC but it was definitely easier because the data is so much cleaner. Overall I couldn’t be happier and I’m really excited for my next targets under dark skies.
