Description

This has been the WORST season for astrophotography I have known. So few night available here on the Coast due to clouds. Arrrrghhh!!  But in April I got some time and for the first time I have done a galaxy using my Edge HD 9.25" at its native focal length of 2350mm at F10. I got 200min of RGB and 400min of Luminance using the ASI294MC and MM respectively with UV/IR filters.  Fantastic exercise and managed to pull out some great detail on The Sombrero. I now want to go and revisit all the galaxies I have done at F10! LOL......
