Description

While connecting more SII data for my Sadr region image, I had to use the rest of the night when the subject was too low in the sky to shoot another target. The camera angle seems to work on NGC225 so I pointed the scope to this cluster. It was the first time for me that an image included a dark nebula. So I was excited to view the results. Because I used the LRGB filter set, the exposure times are quite short and the single images did not show much of the final result. But after stacking the subs and creating a combined result I was quite happy with the image. It is by far no masterpiece, but I love the star colors and the whole part of the sky. Next time, I may try the refractor instead of my Newton to get rid of the star bursts. Usually I like them, but in this case they are too much and distract from the main subject.
