About this image

Seems as I had the imaging kit ready, I took this as quick check of a new set up.

Quite happy with the result. Filaments within the nebular are nicely visable and through the eyepeice (10" F10 on the same mount) there is a real 3D feel.

Sadly some local twit likes illuminating the sky in our AONB with his insecurity lights, which has given this image a bit of an orange twinge.

No darks or flats this time. So wont mess trying to improve it.
