There's always more to see in the Taratula Nebula around Dorado constellation.
I shot some data Last Friday night in a Bortle 1 zone using the Askar FMA180 and asi294mc pro. Well actually is was around 3am Saturday morning when visible.
Amazed how much detail I could get out 13x300sec subs.
This motivated me to re-process some old data from last year of which I used my 6inch F.4 GSO newt.
