Ic1396a

[NOMH]

Hi everyone, it has been a while since I have posted anything. I took some time to refine my imaging routine. I went to full automation and the biggest result seen was in my focus. So much so that I want to go back and trash a lot of my old photos because some are soft. Ugh. Oh well live and learn.

Here is IC1396A in NB and LRGB through a 5" refractor at 1000mm FL from my house in a Bortle 6 zone. The bottom image is with a 4" refactor at 540mm FL from my house.

Thanks for looking.

JB
