Description

Well, this night didn't go as planned. I was trying to get a full night of data on the "Needle" galaxy, It didn't rise above 30 degrees until 10:30 so I programmed a plan in my ASIAIR plus. I setup 2 hours of dual narrowband imaging on SH2-171 (a bright nebula in Cepheus) then switching to NGC4565 for about 2 more hours of dual narrowband until the moon set. That left me with about 5 hours of imaging with just a light pollution filter (Baader Neodymium). Well, autofocus took a dive and all but 1 hour and 44 minutes of data were worthless. I guess I need to work on the autofocus... 

Anyway, here is 1:44 of data on the Needle galaxy. I'll be trying to add more when I get a chance.
