Description

Finally an image after a very long time! The reason for the hiatus has been very simple: I have relocated all my gear from this cloudy land known as Finland, to the amazing clear skies of southern Spain!

My new remote observatory is hosted at AstroCamp, in Nerpio, Spain. I got a 10Micron GM2000 and placed my existing gear on top of it, and control everything from home.

I decided to publish this first light for the record, even though I'm still struggling with some problems: there are some reflections in the optical train (as you can see there's a red - SII - curved band crossing the image.)

This image is a crop, so to reduce the annoying effect of the reflections.
