Description

Starved of data due to extended periods of clouds and pandemic travel restrictions, I've put a toe into the remote hosting waters with an entry level subscription to Deep Sky West. This provides access to an APS sized QSI 583wsg camera through a Rokinon 135mm f/2 located in New Mexico. Similar to the ASI1600/Samyang 135mm setup used from my southerly backyard.

This HaLRGB composition is from data captured 2 days ago, and includes Sharpless emission regions Sh2-137, 140, 145 and 150. Despite the low resolution of widefield images, I'm looking forward to some fun and getting better acquainted with far northern constellations.

Thanks for looking, and clear skies!
