Description

LBN 438 is a galactic dark nebula located in the constellation Lacerta. It is illuminated by interstellar radiation which is known as Extended Red Emission (ERE).

Since changing over to my Tak 85 I've been struggling to get my focus to be consistent so after making sure all settings in my capture program were correct and checking my lakeside focuser many times, I finally found out that it was my focuser rail that was loose! finally consistent focusing : )
