Description

First time imaging in over year and keen to try out a bunch of new kit.  This was my first time using an autoguider, and trying out the ASIair Pro.  Worked like a charm from my iPad, and I was able to get 5 minute subs no problem!  Also first light for the Radian Ultra Quad filter.  Did wonders bringing out the nebulosity and holding back the stars.

Overall this isn't the highest quality image, but this was knocked out in just an hour of imaging before the clouds came in, and just directly stacked with no darks, flats, etc.  Then a relatively quick bit of post processing in StarNet++ and Photoshop.  

I actually like the result better than the multi-night and post-processing agony I did last year!
