    I was shooting for a few more hours of integration time that I ended up getting (heat wave taking its toll…), but was pleasantly surprised with what I was able to pull out of a single hour. I guess dark skies and bright targets helped make up the difference.

    This was my first real exposure to IC4685 and friends (towards the bottom), but i definitely want to return to them once I have a longer focal length scope to play around with.

  2. Niiice goood job

    How do we get such high field view? Because of camerav? Or its different photos stretched together?

    M20 alone covers my full screen+ with my qhy5iii715c camera and 600/120mm telescope
