Description

Happy Halloween! I did this for my two nieces who just love everything about October 31st.

This is 81 lights, 40 darks and 40 flats taken on September 26, October 12 and October 14.

Ghoulish weather kept me from finishing this sooner.

I later added 12 x 300 HA frames for an HARGB

This is my first capture in the Nexdome after getting it fully automated. Everything worked

flawlessly!

Imaging camera: ZWO ASI2600MC Pro

OTA: Meade 6000 APO 70mm

Mount: Celestron CGX-L

Description: Added about an hour of HA data to this for an HARGB. I'll try it all again next year later in the winter when the seeing is better.
