About this image

Taken in very tricky gusting wind conditions. To get my 14inch SCT to capture steady enough images I was forced to push up the gain and reduce the exposures to just 4 seconds an exposure and then stack hundreds to get anything worthwhile! The Dwarf II did a splendid job of capturing the wide field with 19 second exposures despite the strong wind conditions.

Great effort Peter, thought I guess the dark nebula is B145, not 154 ?

Aargh! You are right Mazin, I have occasional dyslexic tendancies with numbers and reverse sequences without realising!
