Description

I've been wanting to take a picture of this since I got the ASI533.  The RedCat doesn't give enough magnification so I tried the big 6" refractor and hoped I'd be able to fix star sizes and halos in PI.
In the end the weather allowed just 1 hour of clear sky and some of that was degraded with high cloud.  All in all....very happy with the result after such a short imaging run.
