The Pacman Nebula in Hubble Palette captured using 300 subs for 6 hrs on an 80mm APO triplet with Chroma NB filters and the ZWO ASI294mm Pro.

Thanks all for the kind words and comments. Brian- I agree. Without NB my viewing of the universe would be greatly more hampered than it already is! I also like the star version as well but I thought the starless version looked spookier for Halloween :-). When I showed both to family and friends it ...

While doing this, I have both a star and starless version as some folks like stars removed but I think...

Anyway, I had the 294mc and never had any dew issues.

Just to report an update from ZWO, they responded to my forum question about the anti-dew heater and stated that the 294mm does NOT have an anti-dew heater. I highly suggested that they correct the product information page on their web site and highlight the mis-information to its users. I can't bel...
