Description

Taking a break from solar for a while and thought of going back to deep sky for a change of pace. Seems to be tougher these days to do both, early morning solar and then deep sky into the wee hours back to back.

This is my first real image of NGC6960 and the tail end of Pickering's Triangle after some adjustments to the scope. I would consider this first light and I had a fair amount of grief making refinements of the f4 system. There is a long technical explanation that I don't think is of interest to most, so I will forgo this.

The image is only 2.5 hours in Hα in mono and I plan on adding data as time permits.
