Description

Finally got my new Losmandy G11G mount and this is one of the first images acquired using this mount.  Its actually been seven(7) months since I posted a newly acquired image.  This is also one of the first images that I used my Starizona SCT Corrector IV, so I'm getting  a good flat image across the whole APS-C sensor of my camera.  My previous mount died right after receiving this SCT Corrector.

For this image, I was trying a lower gain of 35 of my ZWO ASI071MC Pro in an effort to reduce the saturation of  some of the brighter stars.  Unfortunately, I few that this gain has also reduced the over brightness of the capture, so I may be bumping this back up to a gain 0f 50 in the future.
