Description

Excellent seeing conditions. This is a second attempt with my EdgeHD 11, which hadn't seen any light since July 2017, and new Sky-Watcher EQ6-R Pro after a near-failure the previous morning because of clouds. My primary use for this mount will be for deep sky imaging, but I can also use it for planetary imaging with the EdgeHD 11 in times I would've used the EdgeHD 8 and Advanced VX.

Notes:

    [li]The North Polar Hexagon has a reddish color with little contrast.[/li]

    [li]Some banding is becoming visible in the southern hemisphere as the rings slowly uncover it from Earth's perspective.[/li]
