Imagining during a New Moon
May 21, 2023 06:35:20 #
Following two clear nights I managed to get out last night.
Setting up 21:30 & ready to image @ 22:00.
Utilizing the SW AZ/GTi & brilliant Askar FMA 135mm I didn't want to waste to much time searching for a suitable target thus headed over to our pole star Polaris in attempt to capture the Integrated Flux Nebula.
Here we 5hrs of integration before the sun rose.
Techy Bits......
