Description

I finally have my NYX-101 clicking pretty good.  The moon is waning away so my guiding is significantly better.  Found two nice objects I could image splitting them as this one, M1, was not high enough until around midnight.  I was shooting NGC891 which I will also post, and M1.  This is a stack of 110 subs.  Probably could do another night but honestly in Phoenix I don't think I will pick up much more details.  Probably best to call it here with 110 subs and move on to another target tonight.

This processed very well.  PI with the RCAstro plugins is getting to be a breeze.  I've been waiting to photograph M1.  I missed it last fall because all I was imaging with at the time was my Redcat51.  That is an awesome telescope but objects like M1 end up being so small because the Redcat51 FOV is so huge.  Always a tradeoff.

Enjoy!
