Got RCW 104, a fairly obscure little emission nebula.
6x10 mins ISO 400. Idas uv/ir and Baader UHCS filters, MPCC coma corrector. 10 inch F5.6 Newtonian, off axis hand guided, seeing a little better than last night but a little breezy. Hutech modded 350D camera.

Thats right its fairly dim. Nearby supernova remnant RCW 103 is bright in comparison. The new 240v power adaptor (ACK DC 20) works great, no need to bother with recharging and changing camera batteries now :)
