Description

The Squid Nebula, the first picture of the new Tecnosky Apochromatic telescope. When they give us to test the scope, we looked for a very special target and we decided top spent the last 2 months  to acquire session in O3 and HA for this subject.
From the first light, the squid appeared with big surprise, and night by night it became more detailed and clear. Then, after several hours of shots,  the moon appeared: the time of HA had came. A lot of waves and structure was evident and we were waiting the moment to putting it all together to obtain the final picture.
The post processing was long and resumed several times, but we are satisfied with the result.
