Description

Thought this region looked interesting so I put some time on it.  Much more Oiii than I was expecting.  This was the first test of the Starizona Nexus Reducer bringing the f/5 down to f/3.75.  I also upgraded to a 70mm secondary. Looks like I need to add a bit more spacing between the sensor and corrector. Next year I think I'll get a 6" f/4 newtonian and try shooting mono at f/3.

I've also experimented with a new star reduction tool for pixinsight developed by Bill Blanshan. Straightforward to use and easily configurable.  You can check that out here.
