Rho Oph Widefield

[AdamJL]

Hi all

Long time between posts. Finally got a chance to shoot recently, and went up to my little dark site in the mountains for two nights.
I had the 2600MC with the Samyang 135 which is a really fun and lightweight combo. Resolution isn't great but it sure does give a nice wide-field view of things!

2600MC
ZWO AM3
Samyang 135 @ f2.8
10.45 hours of integration.. total overkill but why not.
Mostly cooled to -10 on the 2600MC but on the first night I forgot to turn the cooler on for about 50% of the subs :screwy:

It's great to be shooting once again!

Cheers
