About this image

In an attempt to push the SeeStar S50 towards its limits I targetted a dark Nebula. 6.5 hours of data (with less than 5% dropped subs!) on a moonless night provided a credible SNR especially after culling some 200 subs from the 750 originals. Processed in PI and RC Astro tools. I continue to be impressed with this little scope and look forward to capturing more targets.
