Description

Trying to optimize my precious few evenings of clear skies.  I was able to catch this last night.  I was hoping to get more subs but the clouds rolled in part way through the evening and cut my good subs down to 67.  Not great but enough to get a nice image.  I will have to come back to this again some other evening and get at least double that amount but it still came out nice.  The main central one almost looks like the Cocoon  Nebula. 

I'm liking the ASI294MC for working with my Vixen ED103S OTA.  The size of the image sensor matches well with the flattest part of the image spot for this telescope so I can do quality mosaic's should I wish too, or I get very nice single image with just a tiny amount of crop around boundary.

Enjoy!
