Description

Decided to do something completely different and go after a planetary nebula with a planetary camera! 

Due to clouds I only got 20-minutes of 30-second subs live stacked in Sharpcap in EAA style. I didn’t use any guiding - just tracking from the mount. I re-stacked this morning the fits files and blended the APP processed version with the live stacked version with suitable amount of flats/dark flats and darks in photoshop.

Would love to go after this target again for several hours and use guiding. Very sensitive little camera with some interesting potential.
