Description

This is my 1st image using the RedCat51 and it surprised me with the detail that it could resolve.
The field of view required a mosaic which I did in excess but it allowed me to crop my final image to suit a colour filled print.
Imaging was done as close to new moon as the clear skies allowed and that didn't disappoint as 6 sequential nights allowed for imaging.
The ZWO 2600MC Pro was used for a straight RGB image without the use of any filters.
What a colour filled region of the sky
