Description

This bright planetary nebula is a popular summer target. An early test photo from the Celestron EdgeHD 9.25 a couple days after I got it. Shot with a Bayer color camera and IR cut filter, about 4 hours of exposures. Manually focused.

47 frames x 300s @ Gain 200 @ -10C = 3h 55m exposure time

PixInsight with BlurXTerminator does an amazing job with the processing. No denoise needed on this high SNR image.
