Description

Feb. 15, 2023.  My first attempt at LRGB mono imaging and my first attempt at NGC 1555.  I was faced with terrific winds that last half of the imaging session... 15 mph often gusting to 25 mph... and I had no wind screen.  30-40 mins per filter with Nikkor 800mm lens at f 7.6 with 25% lens diameter reduction by aperture mask.  533MM camera with filter drawer.  At least this was a place to start but I expect to improve on it in the future with more exposure time.
