IC1396 Elephant's Trunk using ED72 for imaging scope

#1

Post by nexusjeep »

Right we actually had a clear night low and behold, so had a session testing the ED72 as an imaging scope to see how wide a field I have compared to the 130/780 LZOS which got demoted to guiding duties :shock:

The image is 70x5min subs shot with the ASI2600MC Pro and the Antlia Quad filter Processed via PixInsight
