Description

First Light with a new rig. NGC 7000  The North America Nebula in Cygnus. I was only able to capture 2 hours of Ha and a little less of Sii. It took longer than expected to find focus with the Guide Scope and the 120mmMini.

With a VERY small sample size, I am happy with the rig and how it performed. Very easy to AF with the EAF and SGP. 7 focus points with 60steps/focus point worked great for SGP to deliver a nice focus curve. I used the 533mmPro for the main camera. A large pixel size for this FL so I wanted at lease 40 subs of each filter for a 2x drizzle to the stacking script in PixInsight to help wrangle down the as/pix scale. I left the file a native 2x drizzle and did not resample down to a more reasonable size because of the inspection a First Light image receives.

I am looking forward to many more nights under the stars with this rig!!!
