Description

The PacMan Nebula in SHO. More exciting for me as this was the first light target for my Askar 151PHQ! The scope performed well so I hope to add to my photo collection using this scope soon. I was capturing the Ha toward the start of the session when the target had the scope at near zenith. I think, as a result of the angle with the tripod in use, guiding with 10 minute exposures was challenged. Many frames were discarded for less Ha than I might have otherwise captured.
